Exterior finish work on building 1. Not much left on the outside of this building. The gutter installer has showed up. Usually the last thing they do on the exterior.

Looking in the window you can see a ceiling fan installed and working in building 1. They started leaving the interior lights on all night in building 1. I guess the night shift uses them.

This is the rear of building number 1 as seen from the rear of Randolph Hall. This will be the new Rose Garden.

Alley Facade of Building 1, the exterior is just about finished. They are pushing to complete the same facade of building 2 so they can finish up between the buildings

The University Ave entrance to Building 1. They are getting ready to place the concrete walk. I'm thinking an awning similar to the awnings they took off of old Baker and Huger would look really good here. I don't think they would make it out of copper though.

From the clean bricks shot I will take a guess and say Building 1 as seen from the parking lot behind Guillory Hall has clean bricks.
Yes building 1 has been cleaned for some time now. The exterior of building 1 is just about finished except for the columns at the main entrance and maybe some clean up and caulking here and there. Once they started with sidewalk construction you can figure that the outside work is pretty much completed because they won't use any more manlifts where they have sidewalks.
They moved out the job shack late last week so that means it's the beginning of the end. With the job shack gone the University Ave facade of building 1 can be better seen.

After looking at the photo's for the last several months I think they can say, "this is the University of Louisiana"......It has been 54 years for me now. Big change I must say.....
There are one or two buildings accross the swamp from the student union facing the Blvd. I don't remember the name of the building(s), but they are total eyesores. I don't think the buildings are being used for anything, at least they shouldn't be. I hope they are being torn down to make a clear view of the swamp and renovated student union. Just a simple removal would help beautify the campus. Can you please confirm the status of them?
