Planniny project createJ' central-campuJ' ar/Joretum near UniverJ'ityCenter The view from the Sunburst Lounge will take on a dramatic new look once present cam pus planning projects area completed. At the present time the area consists of a staff parking lot and a large land area not yet developed. By next summer this area will be a large arboretum extending all the way down to seventh east. According to Wendell Morse, campus planner, the garden will only take half of the parking space in that area. To compensate for this an equal number of staff stalls will be provided in the area where. the old Smart Gymnsasium is presently being torn down. Mostly native said. The area sixth north, will typical revenes in
plants will be used in the proje ct , Morse north of the new heatin g plant , formerly have foliage similar to those used in a the Utah area .
Because sixth north can no longer be used, Darwin avenue will be widened and straightened where necessary to allow traffic in the ce nter of the cam pus. This part of the pr oject should be done before fall quarter begins, to allow for the heavy school traffi c. The parking area as well as the walks and the spr inklers should also be completed at this time. Planting and landscaping will most likely be left until next sp ring, Morse said.
