Korbels sticking out to support ramps for the parking garage. The ramps will be on the interior of the building with the exterior floors level. You will see each floor as level from the outside.

You are not kidding. It's already kind of imposing in this picture.

Consistent progress through the week. Brick work has started in earnest this week and has progressed above the bottom of the second floor windows. More interior work being done.

The parking garage will be a huge structure.

Today I noticed that they are in the process of removing all the Air Conditioner units and some furniture from old Baker and Huger halls. I guess they are pretty confident that the new Baker Hall will be finished for the Fall semester.

Big boss says August. Just need a few more weeks of good weather and it will be about all inside for this one. One big dorm. And more coming. Parking garage will help a great deal - depending on cost!! Impressed with construction crew. Getting after it. Seems well coordinated.

Demolition of Huger, Baker, Bonin and Evageline should start soon.

The stump to the right was an Oak tree that was over 50 years old. Funny how they take these trees down when school is out. This is one they said they were going to move.

Brick layer foreman to the left. they were setting precast concrete sections on the wall. Note the two story poles attached by "C" clamps on the walls. Story poles are used to make sure you end where you started.

One of the Mc Kinley street entrances. I was hoping they would have an arch somewhere on this building as there is an arch on almost all of the buildings on campus.

Facilities will be much better, but wish we had much more land for the more landscaping.

I sometimes took classes in what was then called "little abbeville," the wooden buildings built during WWII at the back of campus.

The campus was more beautiful then, but it got pretty hot in those old buildings.
