Construction Cam APC ( Athletic Performance Complex )

[BlueDawg]

With all of bicky's worry about the exterior, I'm glad the athletes will be INSIDE.
The good/bad thing about the tech endzone is that its the nicest building in rustionia.

Lol Cajun, ignorance is bliss I guess

You are correct most are but some are tilt up walls. Each have their advantages but Metal is the preferred because of ease of maintenance, time of construction and cost. I'm thinking the same was the reason for going with metal for the APC. Maybe you should write a check to cover the cost of a brick building. Then you need to go to Coach Robe and tell him you though it was more important to give money to brick the APC instead of giving money to renovation the baseball stadium. I think he might have a different opinion.

I really hate when people say "this" in a thread, but ^^^^^THIS^^^^^ is spot on.

What % of the LTUR end zone deal is for seating for boosters and lounge area???

-We have none of that in our APC and will have a huge section when the stadium suites and club rooms are finished---this is a huge difference!!!

What percentage?!! Lol. I don't know Boomz. I'll let you research that. Here's what I do know....(whether you agree w/ the location or not) our athletes & major donors will have access THIS SEASON to a top notch APC facility & modern Suites. Techs priority is to take care of donors & athletes first. Our pressbox facility is next.
Do you have any pics of your new upgraded suites?...Or is that the next phase?

Your logic is great for a short term thinker. If you are looking 20yrs down the road not so much. In 5 or 10 yrs when this new wave of architectural style has died your stuck with it. If you build a more classic or traditional style building it never goes out of style. I have never been a person who is into the latest fads because they always go away as quick as they come. That building will be out of style in 10 yrs.

Are you bragging about finally completing a project that started almost 6 years ago? Because we funded and built stadium expsnsion, APC and new track/soccer in less than 2 years. We will have our stadium redone and new baseball renovation done in less time than you built your SEZ, congrats.

Our current baseball stadium has been out of style, let's rebrick that instead.

I went by the Cox building today and saw the APC building in person. It is huge. Very impressive

That's what she said.

Dude, what are you smoking?! You don't know shat about architectural style. All modern Tech facilities are designed to tie in with the classic, traditionaly style...hence the use of "Tech brick" everywhere & it flows very well. Please don't attempt to lecture me on classic Styles & fads when your university is putting up a metal building APC.

I don't think I was bragging. Stop being so sensitive. Sure, it took us awhile but at least it was designed/built well & it looks absolutely fantastic. You have to remember that Tech is a lot smaller than UL, so we're definitely doing a lot with much less.
I hope all these upgrades gets UL into a better conference or some heads needs to roll in Laffy.

Then why the "THIS SEASON" in all caps? Pretty sure you were implying something about having your premium seats now and we don't... And now you just look dumb.
