I spent many a time in Gullory Hall knocking down pins. I even worked there part time while in school for a while. For those who don't remember, the University had a pretty competitive bowling team back in the day.

I took a Bowling class there for PE. I made a spare on a 7 10 split. It came that close to being a gutter ball.Quote:

Yea I remember having to gravel it up to get to the union while they were doing the renovations to Burke Hawthorne... especially sucked on rainy days... probably a long while
I suspect it will be a good while before all the fencing is down. The fencing on Boucher Street should be moved after the drainage project is finished though. I did notice that they fenced around Buchanan Hall so they may have found some money to finish the renovation of that building with the Student Union project.Quote:

Demolition of the middle section of the Student Union building has started.
This is what is left of the entrance to the Bookstore.

Has anybody or you from the contractors seen what the finished product is suppose to look like??? I can see where they have gotten rid of the kitchen area and the old bookstore area (just amazing but after the dorms I believe all)---I was in charge of part of the training table for a couple of years and I would go to Delcambre and sometimes I would have shrimp and crabs on the menu---fun times!!!
More demolition of the student union. These photos taken on Dec 23.

Don't know how much work they will get done next week they are predicting rain Tuesday,through Thursday.
It just occurred to me how funny it is that the admin could move ahead with these renovation and construction projects without the campus aster plan having been finished down to the last t being crossed and the last I dotted but we couldn't move ahead with the much needed and long promised new weight room until every last detail of the athletic plan is completed.
Great shots HelmutVII the one from the top of Olivier Parking Tower has a Greek ruins feel to it.

Same thing goes for Cajunfield....any drawings of those proposed changes?
Thanks!
