I'm not sure what they consider West Campus, but it was spelled out when they got permission from the Planning Commission early last year. Probably something like Irving/Van Buren/I-81/Oakland?
 
I think the idea is that they're actually increasing the number of spots in the neighborhood (due to the increased demand - they're allowed to build 1.7 million square feet) over the next decade while getting some graduate students to stop using the lots for car storage. It's not going to happen immediately, though. But they're definitely contractually bound to end up with more spaces than they had in 2011 (I'm not sure if it's actually 2,100 - might've been 1,900 or something like that - but it's a large number).
 
It's my understanding that the law building is the only project to get underway in the short term, resulting in the technical loss of 102 spaces (but, as we all know, most of those 102 spaces were unavailable for football and basketball games - Raynor was usually more than half empty). ESF is building a large academic building on the north half of the Standart lot ([url]http://www.esf.edu/efb/newhome.asp[/url]), but I think that doesn't break ground until summer 2013. And SU has acquired the block directly across from that (the one with the ten rental houses on it), which will likely be used to replace that lost parking.
 
So I think Standart and Fine should remain as-is for a few more years. The next big capital project on the Hill will likely be the renovation of the old law buildings into new quarters for the Falk School, and that won't have any effect on the tailgate situation.
