After this is completed, there is a possibility of building an entryway from the parking lot to the rest of the campus In the future, more of the apart­ ments and the Eaton Hall parking lot in the 30-acres opposite the sta­ tion may be torn down for addition­ al landscaping and a parking ga­ rage. Perimeter parking is emphasized in the master plan, said Bonnert. Phase Three calls for additional parking behind the Mark Light Baseball Stadium, with a security fence, more lighting, police patrols, and a walkway to campus. Other future plans are relocation of the swimming pool, now in the Student I'nion. to the recreation complex In time, the armory would be phased out and the recreation area made larger The pool would be replaced by civic spaces with landscaping.
