At a campus that has seen enormous growth
since it was first imagined 84 years ago in
a city that is notoriously difficult to build
in, an agreement has been struck that will
determine the University of Miami’s fu-ture
for the decades to come.
On Aug. 11 the Coral Gables Planning and
Zoning Board passed a new development initiative
that will provide the university with greater clarity
as to where they can build and how they can ex-pand
over the next 20 years.
The new development agreement will af-fect
multiple projects already proposed on campus
and re-zones the campus as a whole.
Major changes will include the approval
for an additional 1,830 seats and the sale of alcohol
at the BankUnited Center, the re-zoning of the area
in front of the BUC, now known as the Serpentine
parking lot, for commercial and private develop-ment
and the five-year postponement of the con-troversial
internal road, originally planned to cut
through the Gifford Arboretum.
