Campus Construction

Thanks for the pics. Been meaning to drive by for a first hand look. Is there a bioswale in the green space?

Talked to T-Joe and I along with others offered congrats on the campus look....he said it was. Getting there but more to do......just think how bad it was!!!

Well, not sure but I think so: in the space between the pine trees and Hebrard (where Corona Hall......or was that one Olivier????......used to be) is now a valley-like depression for drainage. Either that, or it left a hole when hell swallowed up the old 'eye-sore' buildings. ;-)

This is a view from Buchanan taken right before the construction was completed, and that was posted on the UL Housing FB page.

Thanks for the pictures. The campus is really looking great. Need to do the same thing at the athletic campus that is sorely in need of a beautification project.

No problem. And here's one more: a picture of what the corner of Hebrard and Boucher used to look like, when the 'new' student union was just completed in 1957 to replace the 'old' one, Bittle Hall.

Also note that the street lights in the vintage photo are basically the same ones that have now replaced the modern ones that were put in during the 1960's.

We need to pass some sort of proclamation.

There shall be no pine trees anywhere on campus.

Heard that! Pines are the worst!

Man it looks like parking has always been scarce on campus going back over 60 years.

You are correct. I was by there the other day and if I were Franks / Mosing family who paid for the naming rights to the APC, I'd be p_____ed as half of the name is blocked by that eyesore.

Maggard is flipping is leaning more towards demolishing the cox building

It would be the biggest eye sore if that building was not torn down.
