It always amazes me that UBC can justify huge expenses for buildings at
the same time that students are being turned away for lack of money and
staff are being laid off.

Are you sure about that?  I haven't heard any plans for that area.  The
other side of Sedgewick, on the other hand---the courtyard between sedge
and the math building---will soon be replaced with a building.  The sign
went up a few days ago.  <sigh>   Why not build on top of the math annex or
something?  It's already survived 50 years longer than intended!

I've heard that once this addition to Sedgewick is completed, Sedgewick
will be taken away from the undergrads and given a new use.
