I also think this a strange place for this. If it wanted to be in this area, I would much prefer it be next to the College Street garage across from the Colonial Life Arena or at the corner of Park and Pendleton Streets by that garage.
On another note, I think they should not build a tunnel from the parking garage to the Alumni Center and then an underground tunnel from the Center to the Convention Center. That's the worst thought process behind creating pedestrian activity in the Vista.
"Let's make sure that the well-off alumni never have to step foot on the street and experience anything else in the city. You know there are so many dangers out there."

Great point. Covering a walkway would be a much more cost-effective and attractive option. They could even continue the theme of the old train depot along lincoln street (like in front of Blue Marlin).

I agree - a tunnel or a pedestrian bridge is absurd.
Earlier this evening I emailed the following to the mayor and my city council reps:
People at Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitor sites is not allowed and city-data.com are expressing disappointment in the choice of location for the USC Alumni Center. It doesn't feel right to me either. I'm a USC alum, but sometimes I just want to be out in my city without feeling like everything is USC-related. This feels like too much encroachment. Also, based on the rendering I saw, they seem to think the Vista is going to be okay with the blond look that USC has fallen in love with. Finally, we need feet on the street, so they shouldn't get their underground tunnel if the site is approved.

The mayor emailed me back a thanks.
I agree. Well said, well done.
