Not many changes to the exterior from last time.....mostly getting the interior done

A few photos to show some progress on the outside. Lots of work on the inside though with the food service wing showing signs of completion.

This is the food service wing adjacent to Guillory hall.






The Boucher Street facade. Note the sidewalk being prepared for the extension of the walk of honor.






The McKinley Street facade as seen from the rear of McLauren Gym. The bookstore is to the right of the photo.

I was a little bad this morning: I 'kind of' walked past a barrier or two to get a pics of the progress of the food services wing ..... Really nice!!!!

I'm sure it's no big deal. As long as you don't do anything stupid like post evidence of you trespassing on the internet you should be fine. Oh, wait...

I am so sorry sir. I beg your forgiveness.

I am so sorry sir. I beg your forgiveness.

I'll let it slide this time.

Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission...

Construction of the new UL Student Union is nearly complete.

Two years ago, crews demolished the former union, which was built in 1971. The $36 million renovation and expansion project is part of UL's master plan. The new building will be closer to McKinley Street than the previous union --- to allow for more green space overlooking Cypress Lake

"The stairways are a little more grand and more spacious. It's supposed to give people the feeling of being in a high quality facility," UL Director of Facility Management William Crist said.

LOL

I know Helmut's pics are much better than mine, but to try to heal somewhat from the debacle that was last night, thought I'd take a stroll around campus this morning. Not really much change to the union, other than it continues to be closed in just about everywhere. They also continue to make progress on the plaza hardscaping.

That's why I slowed up. I found myself taking photos of the same thing each week, Once they closed in the building there was not that much to show from the outside. The inside of the food service wing is looking pretty good they will have it finished well before the remainder of the building.

Yeah, the plaza area is where the most changes are. Also, I liked the new sidewalk going up on McKinley.....I meant to take pics of it, but forgot.

The UL Facebook page posted a few pics recently....looking good!
