Campus Construction

[Big Buds]

Eight months to complete a new Dorm and in their spare time they built a 1000 car parking garage, demoed two 7 story dorms and started building another dorm. Not too shabby.

UNBELIEVABLE!

As usual, a great update! Thanks.

Are they finished yet?

Looks like asbestos removal is continuing on Bonin Hall as they still have some areas under positive air pressure.

This is a view of the finished Baker Hall. This is the last photo I will take from this viewpoint.



View of the North facade of New Baker Hall with New Huger to the rear of the photo. Parking garage is behind me.



View of New Huger from the side of New Baker. The guys on the roof are placing roof shingles on this part of new Huger.



Rear of New Huger Hall. New Baker is to the right.

Parking garage as seen from the north side of New Baker hall. Hamilton Hall is to the right.



Parking garage as seen from band practice field. They are painting the bare concrete. The brick on the garage appears to be a brick product not stained concrete. I cant tell if it's a full brick or an applique. They did do a very good job of application though. The painters are caulking the joints and cleaning the brick as they go.



McKinley street facade of Parking garage. They were supposed to open for parking on Thursday but they did not make it. It does not appear to be that big of a problem now but I would suspect that it will be a problem pretty soon.



Hamilton Hall, (my old elementary school) as seen from the walkway between the parking garage and New Baker Hall.

The parking garage has a very clean look to it.

Can you tell if the inset bricks in the side walk will be a new campus theme, or some kind of visual spin off from the Walk of Honor?

Every time I log on here, I look forward to seeing the pictures of the campus construction. Thank you so much for posting them. They are impressive! I am so proud of how our campus looks or rather, will look. Please continue to post your pictures.

Don't know about the bricks in the sidewalk except that the side walk that was there before was a concrete that was stamped and stained to look like brick. Anyhow, the new sidewalk looks nice, although I'm wondering if it will be slippery when the sidewalk gets cruddy. There won't be much sun on it between Hamilton and the garage or between Angelle and the garage so it could get mold and mildew on it.

There is still plenty of work to be done on campus to take photos of. I just won't be taking many photos of New Baker Hall because it's finished.

Since Baker Hall is finished this will be the final before and after of Baker Hall.

The only thing they have left to do is to install lights along the sidewalk along the front and side of the building.
