Campus Construction

[Turbine]

Great pics! The biggest problem with having an off-campus athletic complex is that alumni and fans rarely set foot on campus. UL needs to find a way to connect the two and encourage alumni to visit the main campus prior to going to Cajun Field. Once people park at Cajun Field for a game, provide a free ride and tour of campus and back. A hop on / hop off bus tour. Just a thought to spur some creative suggestions on this. Build a smaller version of the Quad FDL at Cajun Field to help connect campuses. UL now has a beautiful campus and most alumni have no idea of the extensive renovations and building transformation that have taken place.

At least for the first home game of the season (or homecoming) there should be an Alumni Walk from UL's first football field "The Swamp" to Louisiana's current football field, The Swamp.

Thought the same about cleaning out the north end but I'm pretty sure that's where the gators nest. Observed a matted area there on Saturday.

Is it the power of Ragin Pagin???

Just drove by this a.m. and they have cleared out the tall brush along the Hebrard side. But it looks like the kept the low-lying stuff, so any nests should be ok. Just now as you drive along Hebrard you get a very clear of the lake.as it should be.

That's what's so great about this admin: not only are they getting the big things done, they are continually also taking care of the details.

The first pic is from google earth, before they cleared everything out, compared to a couple of 'after' pics that a took this morning:

Thanks LaCajunsFan

There’s a lot of nonsense on RP, but a lot more highly prized thinking and knowledge. Nice to see them stealing or borrowing those great ideas as expressed on RP.

I wonder if the plants were knocked down by the cold weather.

IDK, those were some pretty big shrubs.

Been a while since there was a campus construction project to report on, but they is pretty big job going on where Hebrard crosses the pathway from Moody, etc., to the U. Seems they are widening sidewalks etc., and also will be putting a lot of pavers. Should be really nice. Especially if you remember what that same pathway looked like thru the old ‘eyesore’ buildings.

Looking towards University.

They have been working on that project forever. It looked the same a month ago. I dunno

The project at the Hebrard/Moody intersection is just about completeand the wait was well worth it. The whole area looks fantastic and greatly further improves the look and functionality of it.

And I’m also very glad that they have completed the low retaining wall around Cypress Lakeno more crappy chain link fence from Burke-Hawthorne to Cypress Lake Plaza! They have also cleaned up the area around the oak tree picnic area, where the vets memorial plaque is, and it looks like they will be putting pavers there, as there several pallets of pavers still in the area.

Very nice.

Thanks

They have been playing around with that project for over a year. It was nothing special. It makes you wonder why.
