Including making the colors of the concrete match either via cleaning, coloring or re-pouring. - Opening up the entrance by changing the panels to the south of the walk way, potentially removing some - Lighting under the walkway and light the department sign that is inside the building - Improve the signage - Improve the look of the red brick exterior of Lee Liu Auditorium – to this end, see attached renderings as a proposed idea for this area - Clean and fix the building façade – windows, rust spots, etc. Add bird detractors to help maintain the cleanliness - Improve the look and condition of the retaining wall to the south of the sidewalk. Which could include removing the retaining wall, regrading and improving that grassy area. We also like the sign recently installed in front of the SIC across Bissell Road from Howe Hall We will be adding a second worktag as the Provost office is sharing expenses but to get things started we have entered the department's only.
