Redesign Chamberlin Hall Courtyard
This project will produce a low cost sustainable design for the courtyard between Chamberlin and Sterling Hall as an open space for public use. The project requires an interdisciplinary team of students from the departments in Chamberlin and Sterling plus students in landscape design, art, human ecology, and architecture. Suggestions and feedback can be solicited via a blackboard (grab one from Garage!) ala http://www.news.wisc.edu/21868.

Just some thoughts
Hammocks (see blackboard image above) https://www.google.com/search?q=hammocks&client=firefox-a&hs=D3D&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=UIkjUqq9Ocf-4AOekoCQCA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1185&bih=580
Solar powered USB ports.
Water fountain.
Collect water for neighboring garden. (If not the courtyard, then the roof of CH? And why don't I see any solar heat collectors on the roofs?)
The historical baryon decuplet of planters could be replaced by quarks and leptons plus vector bosons and the Higgs and Sag A*: an art student project?
Ice skating and volleyball.
