Construction Cam APC ( Athletic Performance Complex )

[USL1970]

One of the first things T-Joe did when he took office was install RED roofs over the entrances to Girard Hall.

8 years later they look fantastic.


Coordinated red roofs on the IPF and APC would have been sweet.

Another good thing Dr. Savoie did when first in office was to save the President's home. Dr. Authement had put plans in motion to tear it down to make more room for another academic building and move the President's home near Girard Park ... part of his horse farm plan.

Glad that did not happen. IMO a presidents home should be on campus if at all possible.

------Rating T-joe's job---the first category I will present are the facilities that have been or are presently being constructed----A+...... any disagreements?? Oh and please compare to past construction and other school's progress!!!!

A ... campus beautification (grounds & buildings)
A ... athletics ... baseball, softball and football, etc.
C+ ... academics (weak on teacher raises, expanding admin & non-academic positions, no tier 1)

Cannot say Boomer, I do not often visit NW St, MoanRoe, RustOn, Brokeback U, but before Katrina UNO had lots of new stuff. All I know about Southern is the Bluff, the most scenic spot IMO of any campus, and I do love the bayou running though ULMost.

How do I rate the Wizard of UL? Hell the proof is in the buildings and accents.

-that is a fair response

wondering if there is a report that would show the building expenses at the different Campi say for the last 3 years??? Would that actually be in the yearly figures???

I have driven through NW, McMeese, LA Tech, and ULM and none of them have gone through the building boom UL has. I have walked our own campus for the first in a long time a month ago and it really is so much nicer than it was in the 80's or 90's. If you have not seen it you should take a walk on campus.

I saw a picture of one of the facilities a pro team uses a few days back and it looked pretty much the same. We don't have everything, but we are starting to have some really nice facilities.

Very few IPF look like anything but a big barn or warehouse

Good point. We should use all of our SEC television money to build a facility like Ole Miss.

Boomer, I have a file of "before" and "after" projects that have happened over the past 15 years or so. As you know there have been a lot of huge projects that have been completed. Its not completely finished and it's also in a Microsoft Word document.

Maybe Turbine can help me post it one day soon

Oldog. There is a reason most homes have vinyl or metal siding vs brick or stone. Cost. We already had to downgrade the facility a little because of cost. But by all means cut down on function and size and damn you got a nice bldg.
