This is no DYI “patio project” This is an honest to goodness Plaza, with lighting & seating and landscaping. Maybe we could get some alums to donate statuary or fountains.

We could go with bird houses and bat houses for the eco-green freindly side of life. Maybe even some corn cob squirrel feeders. If we do go with wild life lets not forget that butterfly freindly plantings and a bee hive could go along way in pollenation of the campus.

If were gonna do it may as well do it right.

It will be a little tricky to landscape close to the patio while still leaving room to remove snow in the winter.

And as for a name, seeing how it is right outside the Grille, how about naming it for the most popular entree? Feelgood Plaza anyone?

Will we have a naming competition for the newly created green space, perhaps we could name it for the dearly departed Black Willow.
