    I'm sure they are somewhere else in the thread, but here are a couple of links.
    From a real estate company
    http://www.carterusa.com/projects/un...-student-union

    On the recycling aspect
    http://www.ull.edu/news-events/news/...ear-12000-tons

    And a nice Vermilion article from last year on the project.

    "More than 77 percent of the material torn down during expansion and renovation work on the Student Union has been recycled. The recycled debris included over 440 tons of metal and 11,504 tons of concrete. Recycling will help the university earn LEED certification, a voluntary, internationally recognized green building program."

    I hope they are using the concrete to crest artificial reefs near the ever receding wetlanfs

    The concrete was hauled to Recycled Rock north of the I-10 Scott exit. They crush it and use it for road base. Its' sieve analysis is almost like No 57 limestone although it has a little bit more fines. It's pretty good material and has cost advantages over limestone. When the crush it they can remove the rebar ans any other metal that may be in the concrete.

    I did not realize the new Student Union would be LEED certified, this is impressive and I am glad I am not involved in the construction management. LEED for homes was a pain enough I can't imagine doing it commercially. I wonder what the additional cost vs benefit is for this project, that would be interesting to see.

    That's impressive, No 57 is a great open aggregate that can be used in a number of applications (used it on a permeable driveway). Do you know if this is the rock that is used under turf fields such as Cajun Field and the Tigue? Thanks for all your insight as always

    I doubt that it was used under the turf fields because the gradation allows for too much material that is greater that 1/2" in size. It does not make as uniform of a surface as opposed to a grade that has more fines. I specified a grade of limestone called 0 to 1/4 for Teurlings and Clark Field and it worked fine. It made a good uniform surface that could be graded to fairly tight tolerances.

    The 0 to 1/4 stone worked very well under the track that we put at Teurlings because a track needs to be graded to really fine lines. The Teurlings track can be certified for NCAA caliber events. It is a very nice track.

    I like Heinz 57 on just about everything, but not on my driveway. It has sugar in it, and it attracts ants. This is my contribution to this subject.

    I like the A1 aggregate myself. Not as sweet.

    If subway still had A1, I would still order the steak and cheese

    Comparing Heinz-57 & A1 is comparing Apples & Oranges.
