Parking Garage Construction

I loved my rooms in the old Caffery dorm. Louvered windows, four bedroom suite with a center bath, and a breezy porch. Spent the first few semesters in the two towers from hell. Roy was a similar dorm to Caffery only further back.

Used to lunch with current Arkansas track coach John McDonnel. If my memory serves me right he ran the two mile and a lesser race. Boy he could pack away the carbs as lunch. They served Fritos every thursday, and it was right after Zoo Lab and the formaldehyde odors still lingered in my throat. Took thirty years before I could enjoy a Frito again.

Progress on the lab/class space continues

Are they finished with the prefabricated pre-stressed concrete elements? It would be nice to see the whole structure.

No, they are not. In fact, there was not much visible progress since Helmut's last pics, so I did not post any.
(Sorry: quoted the wrong post. I was responding to the question if they were finished with the parking garage part.)

I plan on going back this afternoon, and will take some of the parking garage section.

Well, didn't make it out there today, but found this on the UL Facebook page

Looking good, a welcome addition to the campus.

The have begun demolishing stokes

And work on the classroom continues
