			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Brown campus is in the midst of some major construction. After a rather obtrusive <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/Building_Brown/projects/utilities/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.brown.edu');">utilities upgrade</a>, Brown will boldly connect it&#8217;s Main Green to the Pembroke campus. This noble effort is known as <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/Building_Brown/projects/walk/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.brown.edu');">&#8220;The Walk&#8221;</a>. It involves many stages of demolition and construction, and threatens to tear down all structures that stand in its way (mostly parking lots).</p>
<p>One structure under threat was the Peter Green House. At <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=142+Angell+St,+Providence,+RI+02906,+USA&#038;sa=X&#038;oi=map&#038;ct=image" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/maps.google.com');">142 Angell Street</a> it lay directly in the Walk&#8217;s path. Fortunately the house narrowly escaped in the nick of time, moving about 450 feet over the course of a week. That&#8217;s over 0.005 mph, breakneck speed for a 140 year old house.<br />
You can see a time-lapsed video of the move <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/Facilities_Management/webcam_pgreen.html" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.brown.edu');">here</a>.</p>
<p>With the Peter Green House safe and sound at the corner of Angell and Brown, it the <a href="http://envstudies.brown.edu/env/places/garden/index.php" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/envstudies.brown.edu');">UEL Garden</a> will likely be the Walk&#8217;s next victim. I&#8217;m told that on September 9th the garden will removed. Don&#8217;t worry though, it will be rebuilt soon after, no doubt redesigned by some well paid garden consultant. Goooooooooooo Progress!</p>
