Campus Construction

[Boomer]

_ Parking Garage as of May 28, 2011.



Two entrances on McKinley street

this one near Angelle Hall
First I hear that we have offered a recruit in baseball to start next year---had no idea that we named a building after our freshman pitcher that got hurt!!!!!! Is it true that the facade will be decorated with lensless eyeglasses!!!! LOL


this one near Hamilton Hall



they should be pretty close to being through with the McKinley side of the garage by the end of next week. If that happens, they will be about 50% finished with the erection of the building.

This is a view from the front yard of Hamilton Hall



They have placed temprary fencing around old Baker and Huger along with Bonin, Evangeline and Buchanan Halls. Looks like demolition should start pretty soon on Bonin, old Baker and Huger and Evageline. (Maybe next week) _

I'm sorry, I can't recover posts from June 1-5

Do you still have access to the pictures you posted?

I kind of wanted to keep an archive of the construction on a weekly basis so i will repost. This is work on campus ending the week of June 4, 2011


Demolition of Bonin, Baker, Huger and Evangeline continues. this is a debris pile behind Bonin.




An asbestos condom on Evangeline Hall. They use this to see that there is positive air pressure in the building while removing asbestos

New Baker hall on June 4, 2011



Flared soldier course over windows with a keystone. A common detail on many buildings on campus. With more brick work being completed on Baker they are incorporating arches at various locations on the buildings. There are arches on most of the older buildings on campus.



A view of Baker Hall from Tulane Ave. The second dorm (probably Huger) is in the foreground.



An old fallout shelter sign on Angelle Hall. It could hold 160 people. I don't think they know it's still there.

I guess it might have been about 3 or 4.

Does anyone know what the plans are for the area that these dorms occupy once demo is complete?

More new dorms.

Demolition of Huger, Baker, Bonin and Evangeline should start in earnest next week. Griffin would not have moved two large pieces of equipment on site just to let them sit.



Evangeline hall soon to be renovated.



Truss joist for new Huger Hall stored on Boucher Street near old Huger hall.
