UL and McNeese together

[Boomer]

….Great idea to train students at LNG facility….Sen John Kennedy’s idea and will get a Fed building on campus to be turned over to UL…said UL has big plans for it…Europe needs this so bad for the winter….can anybody add to this?

Drilling in the Haynesville is really picking up again. The infrastructure is there from Merryville north past Shreveport. Tons of leases changing hands.

I wonder what on-campus federal building they're talking about? The old Curtis A. Rodemacher Power Plant on Pinhook?

The article mentioned it being in Lake Charles.

The article mentioned it being in Lake Charles.

"Kennedy also said he is trying to get a federal building on the UL campus turned over to university officials. The 28,000-square-foot building that he declined to identify is about 80% vacant, and a pending deal would include the federal government turning it over to UL and leasing a portion of it.

The university has big plans for it, he said."

I fly the CEO of Venture Global and they have an amazing facility in Cameron. Construction has started on the next one in Port Sulpher and the expansion to the Cameron facility should begin shortly.

Over $30B in LNG plants going up in Louisiana.

The power plant is owned by LUS not the federal government.

Rhodemacher power plant is north of Alexandria.

All of the LNG facilities are located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana and Sabine Pass Texas

………Not at all sorry I started this but really interested how this can help the university and our Friends around the world…this coming election can make or break this country along with the next one!

Ahh. Any guesses as to federal buildings on campus? That's the only federal-looking building I could think of.

[CajunVic]

The old Federal Courthouse, downtown Lafayette, maybe.

……I’m thinking one of the buildings in our research park of campus!

The Curtis Rodemaker plant mentioned by RedTails is on the corner of General Mouton and Pinhook. Both of you are correct.

Won’t ever happen, someone has to lead and a state wide university would lead a regional university McNeese won’t touch the idea.

I was thinking it might be the National Wetlands Research Center but I checked, and it is 62000 SF

[ljr3721]

My guess would be the Estuarine Habitats and Coastal Fisheries Center in the research park. Due to political infighting, it was never really used for its original intended purpose and its office space was being rented out to other government agencies. It has been mostly vacant in recent years.

However, that facility is over 69,000 square feet.

I seem to remember a news article a while back about UL wanting to turn it into a lab school.
