That is a lot of nice changes around campus
A couple of updates:
It seems like Bittle Hall is being renovated....the UP should have first class digs when this is all done; Bittle has always been one of my favorite buildings on campus. I also did not realize that Bittle was the very first Student Union....before the 'eyesore buildings' along Hebrard, and the current location on McKinley.
Although there is not much to see, construction is also continuing on the new 'Cypress Lake Plaza' green-space, where Guillory Hall once stood.
Also, now that the new plantings along the Lake are maturing, they are looking good. If I remember correctly, we were concerned that they would not be tended to enough.....so far I don't think this is the case. Landscaping campus-wide is looking fantastic....better than ever.
Finally, the infamous-turtles-on-a-log that made a splash (sorry) on the internet a couple of weeks ago.
"It's Looking Good"
Bittle was also the Band House before Angelle Hall was built.Quote:

A little story about Harris Hall. I once had a white German Shepherd that got out of my back yard. I knew she would go on campus so I started looking around the dorms figuring she would meet up and make friends with a student. I found her watching TV in the lounge of Harris Hall.
.......Read the generous PM.....will need Java female however.....today she (Java Dos) could be able to help!!Quote:

And an article about the renovation to Bittle

Certainly not as big of a project as the Tigue, but the Cypress Lake Plaza is progressing, despite all the summer rain.
And the Walk of Honor is progressing down Boucher as well: I think they are up to the class of 2011.
Saw this rendering of the new Cypress Lake amphitheater attached to the university email that went out today.
Yeah, that's the one Bill Crist had sent me, and that I posted here (#681.)Quote:

Lo and behold they deleted that article, and then re-posted it....with all my pics attached to the article.
I also plan on going by this weekend to capture the progress of the project.
If you have contact with Mr. Crist, you may want to ask him to remove their project status update document from the website as the last update was in 2014.Quote:

Sorry.......no real connection with him.......I had just emailed him for pics when I saw they were starting construction on the plaza. He's a real busy guy, so I'm not gonna push my luck.Quote:

And Bittle Hall: not only are the UP getting all of the space, after sharing a small portion of the building with the P.O., but it looks like they are about doubling its size
Thanks, I was wondering about this last week.
