A study completed around the time of the tunnel\u2019s construction indicated that more than 13,000 vehicles passed here in a single day.<\/p>\n<p>Several design concepts were initially pitched, including one that called for a pedestrian bridge. But the underpass was chosen because it met standards set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act, allowed campus maintenance vehicles to pass, and did not negatively impact the historic character of the campus.<\/p>\n<p>The New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office provided input and approval during the design phase, which lasted 11 months. Material enhancements, including cast stone elements and marble, were chosen to directly reflect treatments from historic structures on campus.<\/p>\n<p>Today, with its detailed architectural features and its inscription reading \u201cCarpe Diem,\u201d which students see each time they head from their dorms toward their classrooms and labs, the tunnel has become a beloved campus icon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Monmouth\u2019s underpass provides more than just safe passage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":758,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"image_focus":"{\"x\":50,\"y\":97}","hide_title":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-currents","category-tides"],"thumbnail":"<img width=\"268\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-268x300.jpg\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-758 wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"object-position:50% 97%\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-268x300.jpg 268w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-768x859.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-916x1024.jpg 916w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-2800x3130.jpg 2800w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-2048x2290.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-1536x1717.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-1400x1565.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-1024x1145.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-828x926.jpg 828w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-360x402.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass-9x10.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/06\/underpass.jpg 4000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \/>","catString":"Currents, Tides","issue":"Summer 2017","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16962,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750\/revisions\/16962"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
