That’s great. It’s nice to see aesthetics come to the forefront. Good idea to move the peanut row frats into the fraternity quads. It would look so much nicer and more unified.

So would peanut row be demolished and something else built there - I heard talk that they were looking to build some apartment-style living for upperclassmen? That might not be a bad location; if the city of Evanston permitted, you could maybe put something a bit more high-rise on peanut row, backing up to Lincoln Street, without disrupting any lakefront views.

The parking is the other thing that needs to be contended with. On both north and south campus, the cars have better lakefront views than the buildings. Why such prime real estate is taken up by parking lots is beyond me. I wish it could all be moved underground.
