    But not only does it compete for eyes it takes away parking.

    But its an antiquated facility. LGMC taking over this location could lead to the creation of a medical school here in Lafayette.
    I’m not seeing a medical school in Lafayette that’s not part of the LSU system.

    I was told recently by someone high up in the medical community (in the know) that UL will be getting a medical school within the next 10 years. I asked him if we were just going to rent space similar to what ULM did, and said, "no, it will be UL's medical school".
    We'll see.

    That is great news if true. You are clearly more in tune with the medical world than most of us and I hope that your source is accurate.

    Being OLGH is reportedly the biggest cardiovascular center between Houston and NOLA, the base is being built.

    Remember, LSU ran UMC and then transferred UMC over to LGMC several years back

    Now LGMC has Ochsner in it corner and I don't see LSU trying to regain that footprint they had in UMC they subsequently abandoned.

    I would start with a huge multi-story, multi-purpose parking structure that goes OVER the intersection of Cajundome Boulevard and Congress.

    4 exits into the parking tower, minimal new footprint.

    If we get out of our own way, we could be looking at a major entertainment/research district at Congress/Cajundome Blvd. and a medical sciences district stretching from campus to the Oil Center.

    Count me in for major entertainment/research district at Congress/Cajundome Blvd. and a medical sciences district. Downtown isn’t safe and doesn’t have the parking. I could see the performing arts center spur a ton of development around it if it’s put by Congress.

    Is this the same area where football fans presently park because we can’t afford inside the park parking. If so, here’s another way the University doesn’t care about the non-big donor fans. Where are we to park for football if this is the sight, behind the Hilton Gardens????
    This University has forgotten about the blue collar fans.

    Guys, I have no inside information. ZZ and I have professional history and he knows where I come from.

    In my mind, these are very real, potential concepts. Am I 100% certain they will happen?

    No. But they can and should happen.

    UMC was a f up before it opened. At the time we knew the dean of the LSU med school. Design flaws, such as, didn’t make the doorways wide enough to spin a gurney into ER rooms.

    I see LSUE makes darn sure they got the signage out at Ambassador and Congress. I except that will be the line of attack if UL makes a move for a med school. The sad fact NOLA is turning into another Chicago, and Shreveport isn’t the answer, a med school has to go somewhere.
