I have been in the new halls as my daughter lives in one. I think our dorms are now helpful in recruiting students whereas they were a turnoff in the past.Quote:

Another feature of the Plaza. I would assume a sitting area or some sort of monument.

Will. Vermillion hall and the other building next to it be renovated as well. Those are two of the saddest looking building I have seen on a major university. They can really do a lot with that location with it next to the swamp.
---I can't place those where are they located from the old union???Quote:

Vermilion Hall and Lafayette hall are the OLD Corona and OLD Olivier halls (commonly referred to as the eyesore buildings). along with Guillory Hall (currently being used for food service) will be demolished.

Wow 7 sidewalks in . . . or is it out :)
So why was Coronna Hall renamed "Lafayette" ???Quote:

I thought it was because Tjoe is a Dos Equis man
They have been replacing the windows on Decluet Hall since last week. These guys worked on Christmas Day. they are doing a very good job.
This is a view of an old and new window side by side.

Before the plastic cools they distribute glass beads over the hot plastic. The beads stick to the plastic after it cools and makes the stripes more reflective.
I tried to get a photo of the glass beads without getting run over by traffic. I don't think they showed up too well

some parts of the country mix recycled glass in their asphalt. The pavement sparkles at night.
This is a better photo of the glass beads, they are to the right of the stripe and they look like powder.
