Savoie, UL seek authorization for 2nd acquisition to link main campus, athletic complex

[cb089]

How does this acquisition connect the main campus to the athletic complex? It appears to be surrounded by several blocks of residential homes.

This image is taken from the 2012 masterplan. The main campus ties into the old OLOL property and then uses St. Landry to tie into the Cajundome blvd corridor

Correct. And to add to this, here is the part of the master plan outlining what properties we should target in the future. A few things to note:

1) It was assumed that we would eventually own the OLOL/Diocese property, so the ‘only’ sections in that area we needed to focus on are the retail/medical buildings along St Landry, in front of the OLOL property, and then the residential section further along St Landry, and not OLOL property itself.

2) Seems like the most ambitious/expensive pieces to buy would be the retail properties along Johnston St, between University and Cajundome Blvd.

3) This is obviously a long-term goal, as we certainty do not have the funds to go out and buy all of these properties. But it’s very nice to know that we have a good plan to consult guide us when needed.

Is the proposed sight for the new Wisdom where EK long currently sits?

No. EKL is not going anywhere. The new site for OLOW is the parking lot next to EKL…..what used to be tennis courts.

If UL acquires the Old Tyme Grocery properties, I want to run the place doing Shrimp PoBoy research.

Fine. You win.

I call dibs on the softshell crab poboy, then.

Well, yeah. But that’s why I asked him which hospital he was referring to. I think he meant UMC, but I’ll let him answer.

Yes, UMC. We own all that land, makes sense to use it in an appropriate manner. The old OLOL property in time could be home for Hamilton or even research structures.

Legacy Park property is one notable acquisition

At the same time over the past few years I've seen some empty properties pop up and UL let some other entities snap them up.

One built some apartments between the pawn shop and the horticulture center.

Yep. The one that gets to me is the empty lot behind the T & F complex, along N. College. As land-locked as we are in the ath complex campus, looks like we could’ve used that. And it is marked on the master plan as desired. Guess the money wasn’t there and the St Landry stuff had higher priorities.

BTW, when you say Legacy Park, I think you mean the property where the new Heritage complex are located….the strip mall, etc., next to it? We already owned the land where the Legacy Apt complex is located.

Yes Heritage.
