An outdoor beginning of term party to say farewell to the B2 green with music from UW DJs and bands, food and drink, and of course you. Party on the green before it disappears.

Soon bulldozers and backhoes will destroy the field and make way for an MC-sized building. In Spring 2007, construction of the new Quantum Nano building will begin. Dig It: Requiem for a Green is a chance for everyone at University of Waterloo to enjoy the B2 Green one last time. With support from the Federation of Students, EngSoc, MathSoc, AHSUM, SciSoc we have been able to assemble 15 Djs and 6 Band--all UW talent.
