“You shall above all things be glad and young…”

Weddings

…For if you’re young, whatever life you wear

it will become you; and if you are glad

whatever’s living will yourself become.

Girlboys may nothing more than boygirls need:

i can entirely her only love

whose any mystery makes every man’s

flesh put space on; and his mind take off time

that you should ever think, may god forbid

and (in his mercy) your true lover spare:

for that way knowledge lies, the foetal grave

called progress, and negation’s dead undoom,

I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing

than teach ten thousand starts how not to dance

e.e. cummings

Sonnet 116

 

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments.  Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds.

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no! It is an ever fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark.

Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle’s compass come;

Love alters with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

 

— William Shakespeare

Parking — the lack of it, the cost of it — has always been a sensitive issue in education communities.  Into the mix add the expansion of electric vehicle charging stations, ride sharing, and micromobility.   Their construction characteristics make them ideal locations for storage enterprises and emergency generators.  NFPA 88A Standard for Parking Structures asserts best practice of a small but important part of it; the construction and protection of, as well as the control of hazards in, open and enclosed parking structures. Things get complicated with other occupancy classes merge with it; especially so when electric vehicle battery fires present another order of magnitude of risk.

The 2023 Edition (recently released) can be read in the link below:

FREE ACCESS: Standard for Parking Structures

Insight into the ideas that are in play can be tracked in the transcripts linked below:

Second Draft Meeting Agenda

Note the concern for the overlap and space between this title and passages in International Code Council catalog.  We limit our concern for fire safety and more education communities build high rise student accommodation with integral parking structures.   The bibliography is extensive (References Pages 92 – 99):

The 2027 edition of this standard is open for public input until June 4, 2024.  CLICK HERE to get started on your own.

We hold this title on the standing agenda of our Prometheus and Mobility colloquium.  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
