Guillory Hall deck

[LaCajunsFan]

There has been some interest in other threads about what will happen to the deck/overlook at Guillory Hall. Since we did not have any 'official' word, I decided to try to get one: I looked up Bill Crist's email, and he was kind enough to respond to me. I think it is great news:

=======================================================================

We have not gotten to that point yet. We will have some type of over look
at Cypress Lake, but nothing has been designed to date.

Good Morning:

Can you please tell me if the Guillory Hall deck overlooking the lake will
be demolished when Guillory Hall is torn down? If so, are there any plans
to rebuild it, either in that location or somewhere else?

Thank You

I always wanted them to put a CC's in there so I could get a fresh cup of java, sit out there on the cool mornings and watch Louis and Anna travel on by.

A full time CC's right there would be awesome! Would instantly become my post-run cool down point.

CC's is owned by Community Coffee...the same _______s who parked a large purple and nacho cheese RV at the Albertson's on Johnston less than a block from our Athletic Complex. We have local folks who could do a better job and support UL in the process. Don't feed the beast.

PJs or Starbucks will work too.

While I'm glad that they are planning on having (keeping?) an overlook/deck, doesn't it seem odd that they don't have plans for it yet? Or is this kind of typical for large construction projects such as this?

I'm assuming the overlook will come when they decide exactly what they want to do with the property Guillory Hall sits on.

Yeah, but that's my point: seems to me they would've decided all this already......

CC's = Communty Coffee. Gee I never put 2 and 2 together myself. At the time of my desire for that to take place they hadn't parked that monstrosity in Lafayette. Mainly speaking in past tense with my statement but in light of that yes I agree another brand of coffee house would be better. Maybe UL could brand their own coffee and a portion of the sales could be used for things to fund the university.

Agree 100%

UL can use their Horse Farm to get about $20m in grants (over time) for coffee research.

Oh wait, they gave the farm away for $6m.

Plan B turn the Cade Farm into a coffee research farm.

Plan C teach monkeys how to drink coffee in New Iberia.

Oh wait they already did that with me in Vermilion Parish.
