Parts of Meadow Creek to resurface as part of a University drainage plan
A project to control drain water from areas around the University, including the Massie Road Arena and the Emmet Street parking garage, will include draining some areas of Meadow Creek to accommodate rainwater.
The plan is designed to help avoid erosion that can result from massive amounts of storm water runoff.
The plan also will help avoid flooding and reduce the speed with which water flows into the storm drain network. Devices used to reduce the spped include "plunge pools" which collect water in order to reduce the volume of the flow, as well as manipulating trees in order to redirect the stream.

Additionally, Pav XI is longer open on Sundays and the deli will now close at 5 p.m.
