Student Union Construction.

I see what you are talking about now. The first photo shows scaffolding around the food service wing. this scaffolding has five levels.

That looks like a huge courtyard area between the bookstore and auditorium/theater wings.

I think they will be having pep rallies and concerts in this plaza area. they used to have pep rallies in the student union parking lot. I think they will have benches and tables there too.

Good progress on the food service wing over the past two weeks.

This is a view from the front of Buchanan Hall on Boucher Street. The building is totally surrounded by scaffolding to place the envelope.



The Boucher Street entrance to the food service wing. This is directly acroos from the alley between Corona and Bonin resident halls. I figured they would get arches somewhere in the facade and this is one of those locations.



Roof of the food service wing taking shape. As seen from the top of Olivier Parking Tower.




The food service wing as seen from the third floor balcony to Old Corona Hall (eyesore building across from the Police station and Moody Hall).



Main part of the building as seen from the top of Olivier Parking tower. Second floor steel deck is in place and is being prepared for lightweight concrete floor. Bookstore (buried in steel) to the right and Ball room to the left.




The main part of the building as seen from the back of Our Lady of Wisdom Chapel. McLauren Gym is in the background. This used to be the main parking lot and service entrance to the food service area of the old building.



Panorama of the main building as seen from a planter adjacent to cypress lake.

Lafayette jail and Chase tower look like they are next door.

Can somebody google the area of land where the new parking garage will be???There is a way that there can be an aerial view --anyway I think that is how they did the one for the athletic complex with all the T-gating areas!!!

I could do it if I knew where they were going to put it.

It's my understanding that it will be in the area where the parking lot is now at between Fletcher and Rougeau on Lewis Street.

That would be a good location as it would spread the traffic out over a greater area.

OK --but I was thinking by the Johnson street and Lewis intersection--whatever--does anybody know for sure---I wish that Ken Ardoin or somebody from the administration would do R-Pagin!!!

It was posted on here a couple weeks back when the board gave its approval.
