This thread makes me wantto go back to school...but not back to class
So jealous after living in the Pit of Despair that was Voorhies Hall.
Rain Tuesday 11/22 along with Thanksgiving and rain again on 11/26 rsults in not much work this past week. There was no work from Thanksgiving to today Sunday 11/27. I think that is the first time since construction began that there has been a suspension of work for that long. Today Sunday 11/27 there was one guy on the site running pumps to dewater excavations so they could work tomorrow. It was kind of nice to have some quite time in the area.
This is a composite photo of the first Rose Garden Residence hall. There is a large pile of prefabricated truss joists in the left foreground. It will be a while before they need these because the interior walls are not framed yet. Maybe by the end of this coming week if they get good weather.
Composite photo of the second Rose Garden residence hall. Pretty muddy from an all day rain on Saturday.
Foundation for a stairwell for the second Rose Garden residence hall. Water in the excavation to the rear was being pumped out today.
Composite photo of the view from Boucher Street at the Student Union service driveway. The middle is the future alley way between the two new buildings. to the left is Buchanan Hall to the right is Harris Hall. The water in the street to the right of the red pickup truck is from pumps being used to dewater the site.

Not much to show around Baker-Huger due to rains and holidays.
Plenty of mud between Baker Huger. Baker to the right. Huger to the left.
Light poles waiting to be installed.
Parking lot behind Hamilton Hall almost cleared of construction materials.
A hidden patio behind Burke-Hawthorne Hall. Burke theater is to the right. The new addition is to the left. It is very nice and the casual campus visitor will never find it.
The recent rains have caused the resurrection ferns to resurrect. There are MILLIONS of acorns on campus. I'm thinking there will be a squirrel population boom.
