academic space for the School of Communication and the McCormick School of Engineering. Paul Weller, Facilities Management’s director of facilities planning, said this part of the building will open in about 10 months.
A man was shot and another man was stabbed during an unusually violent weekend in Evanston. The three-day period starting Friday also saw two men rob a CTA employee at gunpoint near the Chicago-Evanston border. The string of incidents came a day after the Evanston Police Department announced major crime in the city was down more than 6 percentage points through the first 10 months of this year compared with the same range in 2012. The shooting happened Saturday night across the street from Evanston Township High School, according to police. Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said a 20-year-old man was shot four times with a small-caliber gun at about 8:40 p.m. near the intersection of Church Street and Hovland Court. The man, who is from Evanston, was hit twice in the hand, once in the leg and once in the buttocks. Parrott said the man was taken to Evanston Hospital and has been released. The man told police two men were responsible for the shooting, Parrott said. Police described the two men as 5 feet 7 inches tall and 135 pounds. A day earlier, a 34-year-old man was stabbed during a fight among street artists near the Chicago-Evanston border, according to police. Shortly before midnight Friday, Chicago and Evanston police responded to several people fighting in the middle of the street near an art gallery in the 700 block of Howard Street, Parrott said. Officers broke up the fight, but a short time later, a Chicago Fire Department ambulance was sent to the same area for the man. Parrott said the man was stabbed in the chest during the fight but did not realize he was hurt until the brawl ended. The man, who is from Chicago, was taken to St. Francis Hospital, where he underwent surgery, Parrott said. The man is in stable condition. Parrott said police have reviewed surveillance footage of the fight and identified a suspect. However, no one was in custody or charged Monday afternoon. The fight happened after the artists left an event at the Howard Street Gallery, 747 W. Howard St., Parrott said. The gallery did not return a request for

New campus parking to open in 2014 By TYLER PAGER
the daily northwestern @tylerpager
Facilities Management is finishing up construction on two parking structures as part of an effort to make campus more pedestrianfriendly by removing some parking lots. Bonnie Humphrey, Facilities Management’s director of design and construction, said parking structures are part of the Board of Trustees’ 2009 campus framework plan. “The plan includes building structured parking to allow the removal of surface parking lots from the middle of the campus in order to capture the cars at the edges of campus and allow a more pedestrianfriendly circulation through the core of campus,” she said. “The first piece of that was actually the Mid-Campus Green that we did last year.” The Mid-Campus Green, which is located south of Silverman Hall and east of Annenberg Hall, replaced two parking lots with a large lawn area. The North Campus parking structure, which will be attached to the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion and
