Champlain College To Buy Ethan Allen Club

Champlain College is purchasing the Ethan Allen Club on College Street, adding more space to the college's growing need to house its students. The college also recently purchased the Eagles Club's building on Pine and Maple earlier this summer, as it plans to accommodate all 2,000 of its students by 2016. The newly acquired buildings will reportedly fit 600 beds. Champlain intends to begin the permit process for the Ethan Allen Club this upcoming summer, and will hopefully break ground by 2011, when the Club moves out.

Champlain College has scheduled two open houses for neighbors and community members to discuss details of their Master Plan. The first is being held this evening at 6 P.M. in the Hauke Lounge, and the second will take place on Saturday from 9 A.M.-12 P.M.

i'm wondering what parking will be like on bradley, college, south willard with the addition of this many more apts/college students in the area. many of the houses and apts don't have parking and this could really overload the area, even if there is a lot. what about guests, visitors, etc? (of course i'm biased, since i live close by!)
