<p>So what exactly is going on with that? There are only very few articles on the internet about it and they don’t contain any recent updates on it really. </p>
<p>Does anyone know if its almost finished? Does it really help in connecting the Pembroke campus to the main campus? How are they dealing with the issue of city streets getting in the way? Is there a lot of construction going on near campus because of it and is it annoying/unsightly? </p>
<p>I’m just curious in general. Because when I visited the campus, it seemed relatively small which was a slight turnoff but it was probably because of the fact that its very bisected by city streets and what not. So I was wondering how the implementing of the walk affects the overall campus. </p>
<p>For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, the Brown walk is a project the university is in the middle of at the moment that will consist of a series of interconnected green spaces that unify the campus.</p>
<p>The connection from Pembroke to Waterman Street is complete, meaning that you can successfully walk along the Walk from point A to point B. There is still plans for construction on both sides of the Walk (like the Brain Building), and I know the University still needs to figure out how to connect it aesthetically to Lincoln Field.</p>
<p>Students last year who lived on Pembroke had to deal with construction every day, both along the Walk and on Pembroke campus. Next year there is plans for additional construction elsewhere on campus -- Faunce House and the student services building across the street from Faunce, for example. And the new athletic building. I'm not sure when the Brain Building and the Art Center is scheduled for construction.</p>
<p>Bottomline is that students for the next several years will be dealing with construction.</p>
<p>When I attended Brown back in the dark ages, there was no Walk, and we survived just fine. I don't see how a small Walk would be a turnoff to attending a college. If you truly hate dealing with construction, then Brown may be a bad choice for you -- although frankly, almost every college is building or renovating something all the time.</p>
<p>^I never said I hated construction, I don't mind it but I was just wondering if it ever got in the way of anything. I don't find the Walk to be a turnoff either. I'm actually really anxious for its completion because I feel it will be a great addition to the campus. </p>
<p>I was just hoping to get a general understanding of how far along it is, how current students like how it affects the campus and if the construction can get in the way of things (not that it necessarily would).</p>
<p>I think you are concerning yourself with a sidewalk about 1000% too much. </p>
<p>Isn't the Watson supposed to be done by next year?</p>
