The back campus will continue to be an open, accessible space for a wide range of intercollegiate, intramural and recreational sports and physical activity pursuits. No trees will be cut down to make this project happen. There will be no permanent stands, inflatable domes or taller fencing that will impact the wonderful view of the historic buildings and trees that surround the site. Studies have concluded that there is no archaeological potential on the site due to filling and grading over several decades. And no algaecides or biocides will be sprayed on the fields.
