Parking Garage Construction

[LaCajunsFan]

Pics from this morning: the brickwork on the lab space seems complete. It also appears that the garage is nearing completion....at least the prefab part. And it is remarkable on how much it is blended in already. Helmut was right again: stopping it at 6 levels helped keep it in scale.

Also, Stokes is pretty much all gone.....

Looks like the heavy lifting is pretty much completed. It would have been finished a few weeks ago but the daily rains we have been having have slowed things up a bit. The garage should be finished in about 8 weeks or so. They will have to pave the access drive, but that will be last.

This job is almost done. Looks like a lot to do but they are very close to finishing.

They paid homage to the old snack hut. Elana would be happy.

A view from the old McNaspy field. Griffin Hall is to the right rear and Fletcher hall is to the left out of view.

A view from what will be the entrance drive to the garage off of McKinley/Girard park Drive. Oliver Hall is to the right and Griffin is to the rear.

Stokes no more. Looks like they crushed some of the concrete form the old buildings to make a surface for the parking lot.

One of the better looking parking garages -my limited experience- has ever seen.

I would suspect that the construction fencing will be down in the next week or so. This job is just about done.

This is a huge building. Photographs do not do it justice. Next group of photos will be from inside the building.

It is amazing to me how quickly it went up, when you consider how big of a structure it is.
I am also glad that they seem to have left room for the building(s) that will eventually flank Oliver Hall, so that they can then create a new, smaller 'Quad' area. After so many years of seeing just the remnants of McNaspy, it would be great to see this done in my lifetime, lol.

I have said it before but again; that is one of the better looking parking garages I have ever seen.

I agree!

Looks like it's complete: the fencing is gone.

Totally agree and we need a top tier security system to keep it looking good inside and outside. That is the nature of parking garages trash, grafeitty are constant battles.

They took it down last week. They still have some up on the other side of the building.
