By PHILIP BADASZEWSKI | Sep. 24, 2001Continuing UB's trend toward a self-sufficient university community, a structure tentatively dubbed the "Lee Road Master Plan," has been proposed to fill the vacant space between the Student Union and the Ellicott complex with apartment-style housing and retail stores."[We are] only developing a master plan on what 'could' be done," stated Vice President for Student Affairs Dennis Black in a letter to the Spectrum, adding "[The] most aggressive schedule would lead to the start of one of up to five [construction] phases as early as the end of 2002."The complex itself "would have a city feel and try and keep the community feel we have on this campus," said Clifford Wilson, associate vice president for student affairs.
