Yep, just 13 short years ago.
///What vision! A parking ramp!
What a buy! $19 million (the amount they now want bonding for) for 600 new parking spots (the net number of new spots)!
Anybody good at math, my back of the envelope calculations give me about $32,000 per new parking spot.
At a 5 % return per year that means a student should pay $1600 a year per spot.
Re: New campus housing options
A parking structure costs about $40,000 per stall, give or take, based on how it is designed. I've designed mixed-use buildings that have included parking on separate floors and some where parking is feathered in with adjacent uses. There are plenty of open parking lots on campus that could fit a parking structure where parking is fronted by classrooms or admin space.
For the long term, structured parking is the healthiest way (in an urban design context) to develop a campus because you can keep things very walkable, inviting, and compact. The math of this as a development project go beyond the project itself. Hence, you look at return a lot differently.

Or since you already have parking (at the dome). You densify and run more buses through the core.

You bet. Anything that keeps things from continuing to just spread out unchecked. Eventually, structured parking is still the way to go for any real density.

Parking is going to be interesting at the Dome when they start the expansion.

Why don’t you pick on someone your own size???
EC8’s reference was to the “olden days.” So was mine. “We” didn’t have College friends who wore brand name clothes, and I certainly didn’t have siblings who wore those brands.
Why don’t you concentrate on criticizing yourself?
