Fletcher Hall Renovations

[USL1970]

Thank you for the updates ... it appears that Fletcher Hall will be very much improved in both function and form.

And it is certainly much improved from the original drawings of the administration that were successfully protested by Art & Design students and the community at large.

It seems to me that this is one of the newer buildings on campus. I remember going to class in Guiraud Hall on the corner of University and Johnston and it was really really old. Flethcher Hall wasn't even built yet. Have they remodeled Guiraud yet?

I am almost positive that was remodeled about 4 or 5 years ago.

You are correct. I want to say it was started in my 2nd year in fall of 2009. Took about a year, I believe. I know one of my spring '10 classes was displaced because of it.

Well, when I started out in architecture waaaaaay back in the fall of 1977, Fletcher had just opened the year before. I also had LOTS of classes in Girard, and it also renovated around that time. And yes, it was just recently renovated AGAIN.....which just underscores how very old I am, lol.
You also correct about the age of the buildings: I think DeClouet and Foster are slightly older, but Girard is also one of the oldest buildings on campus. And it looks GREAT after the reno, and the removal of the pine trees, the additition of the Steven's statue and the other landscaping that was included. I just hope they do something for DeClouet and Foster, as they are both really showing their age. Although I think DeClouet has just had it's windows replaced.
