大學廣場落成紀事 University Promenade 本校大門，於臺北帝國大學時期，面向西南，以今羅斯福路為出入口。民國三十九年，傅 園落成，大門廣場亦增植兩排椰樹。六十六年起，民運人士每雲集廣場演說，人車喧填， 校方乃加築三角形花圃及圍牆，以利管制。九十二年年底，校務發展規劃委員會通過「大 間口廣場改善工程方案」，決定恢復加築以前之舊貌，俾配合校內外景觀。校方遂結合臺 電公司「羅斯福路與新生南路口人行道暨地下道整修工程」，於九十三年十一月動工，翌 年二月底落成，形成一規劃完整、動線流暢之空間。爰命名為「大學廣場」，並立牌紀念 云。 The Main Entrance to the Taipei Imperial University, predecessor of National Taiwan University, looked toward the southwest and exited to what is Roosevelt Road today. Two rows of royal palms were planted in a square outside the Entrance in 1950 when the Fu Si-nian Memorial Garden was dedicated. After 1977, the square served as a virtual free speech corner by civil activists who would incite crowds against the humdrum of busy traffic. The University then built a wall and dug triangular patches of flowerbeds as measure of crowd control. At the end of 2003, with the passage of the resolution to beautify the space outside the Main Entrance, the University began to restore the old view of the square to bring the vista more in line with the main campus and worked closely with Taiwan Power Company to renovate the pedestrian sidewalks and the subway underneath the intersection of Xinsheng South and Roosevelt. Construction works started in November 2004 and finished the following February to create a well-designed human space: The University Promenade. -- 應無所住 而生其心 --
