Are we still 1-1.5 yrs away from Brower demo or has the timeline moved up? Does that Brower demo need to be done before other demo or construction can start? Will Rutgers publish a timeline for this quad?
 
One thing to keep in mind with any major building and planning at Rutgers is the search for a new president. Nothing major is going to happen until we get a new president. This is true for any major planning at Rutgers. Who knows what direction the new President will want to go in, so most things go on hold.

Wasn’t this in the plan before Holloway?

That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
These things went through tons of planning and approvals years ago. I’d have to hope / imagine it’s all been included for in the budgets , resourcing etc for next few years. Bids already awarded, etc

I can’t imagine that whole thing gets held up or reversed by a new hire .. who likely would need months on the job before something like this warrants any of their attention for even a download on current status

Yes the original Rutgers 2030 plans were first made before Holloway. With a project as big as Rutgers 2030 the entire thing is not budgeted at one time. Parts of it are budgeted at a time, usually yearly as part of the yearly budget. Anything that has been budgeted will more then likely go through, but any plans that haven't been budgeted may never happen.

I good example of this is the proposed boardwalk on the Raritan. This was part of the original Rutgers 2030 plan, but it is no longer part of the plan.
