Student Union Construction.

Wonder if the SPCA would prevent us from coloring the gators red as they swim in C-Lake!!!

Sounds like something the federal government might provide a grant to explore. DNA crossed with the red snapper would give you a gator that not only is red, but is good for a new palet delight experience red gator couvillion, or perhaps vermilion gator couvillion.

I can hardly wait for the union to be completed. Should be a great place for the students. Makes me want to go back for a second degree.

What if you had the huge claws of a crawfish along with the alligator body---Now that would be BAD ___---T-Bine can you make one???

I found out yesterday that the renovation project is indeed out for bid. It usually is a 30 day process. That means bids should be due in late July. If the bids come in within the budget it should take about 45 to 60 days for the paper work to get processed. I'm thinking they should get started with construction in late September or early October.

Some minor work going on to get Guillory, (old) Corona and Olivier halls ready for occupancy during the renovation.

Improvements to Olivier Hall (it hurt to take this photo)



A shed to cover entrance to the temporary food storage freezers and coolers. Looks kind of flimsy to me I hope we don't have a Hurricane while this is in use because it's gone if we do.



Cypress Lake facade of existing Student Union.

For some reason I thought they were going to open the view to the swamp. Unless I am thinking of the wrong building it will still be blocked. ?

This building will be demolished AFTER the renovation is completed. Some of the offices in the current union will move here during the renovation.

Construction to start soon

This is my last semester at UL. I almost don't want to graduate now...almost.

Boy, the roof of the student union looks bad.

Looks like I found two good spots to document Student Union Construction.

The north Harris Hall fire escape. McLaurin Gym is behind the trees to the left, Student Union is to the rear and you can just see the wall of Bonin Hall to the right.



and the top of Olivier Parking Tower



I should be able to access both places throughout the entire construction process. The view from the fire escape will be of the new food service wing. This is where the old Saucier clinic was.

Looks like the band practice field is ready for foot steps next week.
