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

Looking back to Martin Hall, The circular sidewalk is where the old side walk had a circle with a pine tree at the center.

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.

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.
