Description
SPS submitted updated plans that include a change to the retaining wall height; the EAC is tracking the revisions.
Impact summary
The rebuild cuts the building footprint, reduces impervious coverage by about two acres, adds modern stormwater controls, and targets LEED Silver or better — but construction traffic and the eventual fate of the north-side parking lot remain open issues.
