What's already there: SUB plazas

The most famous event that happens in the SUB plazas is Storm the Wall. The Plaza is filled with mulch (which is later spread around the campus) and 12 foot walls are erected that students have to haul each other over, after swimming, biking and sprinting their way through a relay race.
The plaza works as a natural collector. It is used for protests, displays and different kinds of events. In September, fraternities and sororities use the space during rush week, the Genocide Awareness Project uses the plaza for display, and protestors demonstrate around the Goddess of Democracy.

Many of these things were possible because of the placement of the plaza. Any student moving from the south side of campus to the Student Union Building will likely cross the plaza, and proximity to the old bus loop ment that almost every student who came into UBC on public transit would move through this space during the day.
