This weekend when it rained, members of the group noted locations on campus where excess flooding occurred, and took notes and pictures of those sites which were considered candidates for the project. Later in the week, we convened to inspect and evaluate those sites, as well as others along the way on campus that seemed worthy for our project. At each location, we discussed and determined what our new infrastructure would look like, how it would connect to and impact existing infrastructure, and how effective it would be in the prevention of flooding and absorption of storm water.
Together we determined that Lancaster Walk, from the exit of the Daskalaskis Athletic Center to where it connects the 33rd Street sidewalk, was the best option because of the topography, the surrounding ground surfaces, and the pedestrian traffic in the area.
