UCLA picks new site for hotel and conference center

From The Los Angeles Times: UCLAhas chosen a new site for an on-campus hotel and conference center, and has abandoned a controversial plan to demolish the university's faculty club to make way for the new facility. The project, with meeting spaces and 250 guest rooms, would replace a multilevel garage at the campus center. The faculty club, a 52-year-old structure on the school's eastern edge, would be spared. UCLA Chancellor Gene Block says continuing opposition to the first location helped persuade him to move the project.
