What Is It?

What is it? Here's the answer from Dan Priest:
"It is a corrugated metal storm water management structure. Basically,it's function is to collect rainwater from the roof and the ground on the west side of the new building and hold it and slowly discharge the collected rainwater into the existing streams. This decreases the velocity of the runoff water and mitigates streambed erosion and helps to filter suspended solids and sediment."

What is the large hole with big metal tubes adjacent to Phase III? Some have guessed it is the campus cyclotron, others say it is the Tomb of the Unknown Faculty Member.

We will ask Dan Priest and post the answer here, but before we do that ...

... YOU tell us what you think it is.

Maybe it's a bunker for the faculty to shelter in place.
