Jones College -- Jones already has an Earth Tub that was the pilot project for 98-99.

Baker -- This area has two options, one off the loading dock in the free space to the right of the ramp and one on the loading dock to the left of the kitchen door (see second picture).
...

Wiess -- This area is difficult because it is exposed to the inner loop.  A tub could be placed to the right of the loading dock.  Wiess will cease being used as a college in 2003.

Hanszen -- This area has plenty of space near the loading dock.  The space where the trailers currently are parked is ideal, but this large area is very flexible.

Sid Rich -- This loading dock area has a gravel area nearby that would be well suited for Earth Tub siting.

Lovett and Will Rice -- Both have ample space and would be a good location to co-locate two tubs to operate in tandem.  For this arrangement, the tubs would ideally be placed next to each other in between the two loading docks.

Lovett -- There is plenty of space for different arrangements, including little storage spaces to the right and left of the docks.

Will Rice -- There is plenty of space around the loading dock.  If not placed close to Lovett's loading dock, then the corner to the left of the loading dock will also work.

Brown -- This area is very cramped for space.  The area by the loading dock around the corner on the right would work, as would the grassy area to the left of the tree.

Central Kitchen -- There are several placement options near CK.  The first picture shows the gravel-covered area behind the wall.  The second shows the corner at the base of the steps to the left of the loading dock.  The third picture shows the area around the corner from the loading dock that is a bit further away, but would work as well.  This location could be shared with the community garden as well (located to the left of the area in the third picture).
......

Rice Memorial Center -- Space that is not driveway is low here, but two good places are part of the area where the wagons and carts are parked in the first picture, and the corner behind the blue gate in the second picture.
...

Cohen House -- There is ample nearby space in this area.  The area to the left of the loading dock would be a good place.
