Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1298359, member: 2141"] If memory serves, early drafts of UConn 2000 had two parking garages were targeted - one where the North Garage is across from MSB and second in S lot next to EO Smith HS. That garage, South, was intended to be used not just for University parking; but, also for event parking, especially for VIP's, at the adjacent hotel (old Nathan Hale Inn), which was supposed to be bigger than the one built, and Rome Commons in New South, which was looked at like mini-convention hall for UConn. I believe that Mansfield did not like that idea and pushed back and this South Garage became Central Garage and was instead aimed at VIP parking for basketball games at Gampel, public parking for the new Co-Op, and Business School events.
