Adequate? Depending on the campus, why not? Queen's in Kingston is
ancient and right in the middle of the city. No room. I walked.
Carleton in Ottawa is newer and built on what was once the edge of
the city with plenty of green space for expansion. They can and do
provide lots of parking.

Free? Why in Heaven's name should it be free? It should cost the
same as around any other office complex.

I think not!

     Title: Pan Fried Pumpkin Steaks
Categories: Vegetables, Desserts
  Servings: 4

      1 lg organic jack-o-lantern
           pumpkin with straight sides
           Olive oil
           Brown sugar
           Salt and pepper to taste

Cut the pumpkin in half from top to bottom. Remove the seeds and
stringy pulp with a spoon, and cut the pumpkin into square chunks
with 4- to 5-inch sides. From a large pumpkin, one could get up to
20 portions. Place the pumpkin chunks skin side down on a baking
sheet. Brush oil on liberally, then sprinkle with one teaspoon brown
sugar per chunk. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake in a
preheated 350-degree oven for 1-1/2 hours, depending on the
thickness of the pumpkin. To test for doneness, stick a knife into
the pumpkin. When the knife goes all the way through easily, remove
from oven and allow to cool. Once cool, cut off the skin and season
again with salt and pepper. Then dredge in flour, coating well but
without excess. When you're ready to serve, heat some olive oil in a
frying pan on medium heat. Place the floured pumpkin steaks skin
side up in the hot oil and cook until brown and crunchy, a couple of
minutes. Turn the steaks and brown on the other side. Since this
side doesn't have sugar on it, it will take a little longer, about 3
to 4 minutes. Note that for thicker pieces, it might be necessary to
finish the cooking process in the oven to make sure the pumpkin
steaks are thoroughly done in the center.

This sounds like a geat dessert, with walnuts or pecans, maple
syrup, and lots of butter or even cream cheese or mascarpone.
