Campus Construction

Yes, but my thing is the fence is very unattractive....I wish we would do things right and continue the wall all the way around. This area is waaaay too important/visible (and will be even more so after construction is complete) to do things in a shoddy fashion.

Agreed, and after tearing down the next 2 buildings by the Swamp, expand the swamp and the retaining wall and plant some new Cypress Trees in the enlarged area!

---Maybe over the expanded lake area we could put a NO city park type bridge---very cool!!!

Helmut could design and build it! Frenchie could take pics!

It seems the work around the chillers and inbetween Wharton and Burke-Hawthorne is complete. These are two views from St Mary, looking towards the swamp. I wish they would have made some of the sidewalks wider, but overall I think it looks great, and it is a nice area

Looking good, thanks for the pics Cajuns_fan!

The wall in front of Martin Hall is really taking shape, and will be a fantastic addition to campus, IMHO

I do not think they could make the sidewalks wider because of the live oaks, digging into their root system just a little can kill them. Again thanks for all of the pictures and updates.

Kind of thought that might play into it. But also, there are several utilities involved, and I know moving them would probably be a big expense

Can you imagine alumni returning for HC after some years? Total shock!!!o

Concrete block work is finished for the wall at the Martin Hall parking lot. Martin Hall is to the left.

I wonder if there are any plans to re-hab the fountain in front of Martin Hall, or the entrance gates on University & Johnston? At least paint them.....those yellow bricks really stand out. I see painted brick all the time, and think it looks ok. It would be great to give these both an update.
