Salt Lake Community College should, if not consolidate their many campuses, the point of their being so many to make them more accessible, at least make the classes on these campuses, actually possible to get to.  As the number of classes and students at SLCC has grown,  the amount of places to put these has dropped, forcing the school to add relocatable classrooms to their campuses.  The problem with these relocatable classrooms, is where they've been put isn't very accessible or convenient.  Every day on my way to classes I notice empty classrooms that could have been a place to put the class I have to walk across the street to get to.  It seems like SLCC should be able to rearrange class times to make them all fit into real class rooms.  Consolidating class schedules might also help with the problem of having to find a parking spot in a parking lot that's packed.  If this isn't possible, maybe SLCC could relocate these relocatable classrooms to somewhere closer to campus where they would be easier to get to.  Making a parking structure would make the most of the limited space the campus has.  Instead of expanding, cars could be stacked, potentially creating enough space to add an extra building or an area to relocate the portable classrooms to.

  1. honestly, it sounds like a good solution. Stacked cars would really make it easier to get classrooms closer. But, at the same time the parking situation would still suck (not that i have ever been late because I couldnt find a spot.)But the room that would be used for parking would be taking up for classes. I just don't feel like it is realistic. I mean the economy is shit holed. Any way thats a rant.
