The title pretty much says it. In a follow-up to my question about alternating groups, does anyone know of a "geometric" model for $BGL_n(F_q)$? By "geometric" I mean "a space you would have heard about even if you aren't studying classifying spaces"; I mean to exclude general constructions such as simplicial standard nerve constructions, infinite joins, intractable quotients of frame bundles, etc.
