Well, I think that they could, but the Class of 2005's voice was
represented on the committee (in the person of John Velasco) which
decided to go with the glass wall. That makes it somewhat of a harder
sell.
Also, "incoporate the mural" is somewhat vague. Does that mean
"retain the current mural as-is," or does it mean, "provide
a representative symbol of the mural in the lounge design" (as
is proposed by way of the etched glass).
(Of course, if the Class of 2005 had the ability to speak with one
voice, they could certainly be effective. Like almost any large
group...)
