The Oakland Planning and Development Corporation held a meeting on Mar. 21 to discuss the proposed construction of a new recreation and wellness facility, renovations for the William Pitt Union patio and renovations to the exterior of Langley Hall.

The purpose of communal spaces such as parks and public infrastructure like benches is to extend community, not limit it. 

Oakland might look a bit different in a few years, but it will all be according to the plan.
