I took these photos on Christmas Eve and nobody was on the project site so I was able to sneak around places I had not been since construction began. Some different perspectives this week.
First Rose Garden Hall as seen from the Student Union service drive.
Future alley between the two new buildings as seen from Student Union service drive. In a few weeks we will be able to see this space better defined.
Walking down the alley to view the front of the first residence hall. It will be similar to Baker and Huger with columns and arched doors and windows
Walking through the entrance and looking left (to the Student Union) reveals this hall way.
Continuing through the building to the rear entrance and looking right reveals the the remainder of the building. This is where old Huger Hall used to be.
Another view of the first residence hall. University Ave is to the left, Hebrard Blvd is to the rear, Randolph Hall is to the right and McKinley street is in the far distance to the rear.
Returning to the alley and looking right shows preparation work for concrete placement for the second residence hall. Harris Hall is to the right rear. You can just see the north Harris Hall fire escape poking out from the left side of the stair well to the right. This is where I usually take photos of the area. I'm thinking the view won't be quite so good once the second building gets above the first level.
Next week marks a year since the start of serious construction. It has been a very busy year on campus.
