Campus Construction

[Cajunsmike]

Thank you very much. I do not have photos of the interior of the residence halls. As soon as they were finished they were occupied. Plus, you have to have an access card to get in the buildings. After all, people are living in the buildings and they do deserve some privacy. The Housing department has a web site that will have photos of the inside of the buildings. They also have a Facebook page that has a photo album of the buildings. Some of the earlier photos are mine that I gave to Dr. Savoie so they may look familiar.

I have been in the new halls as my daughter lives in one. I think our dorms are now helpful in recruiting students whereas they were a turnoff in the past.

How does she like them? I am curious. I'm thinking it will be even better once the Student Union is finished.

I still haven't recovered from Burger Tyme by the mall cutting down 5 Pine trees 20 years ago.

This will take me a while.

I think the Cajun Blaze was an equitable exchange.

Concrete sidewalks were placed this past week for the new entry plaza.



Plaza as seen from the steps to Girard Hall




Another feature of the Plaza. I would assume a sitting area or some sort of monument.



The old sun dial from 1916 rescued from the old rose garden and placed in the new rose garden.

Looks like they are trying ti finish up but the weather won't cooperate.

Will. Vermillion hall and the other building next to it be renovated as well. Those are two of the saddest looking building I have seen on a major university. They can really do a lot with that location with it next to the swamp.

---I can't place those where are they located from the old union???

I might have got the name wrong, conplete opposite side of the union that was just demolished. If union is 12 o clock then this building is 6 o clock
