Campus Construction

[HelmutVII]

Getting harder to take photos each week as they are getting close to the end of exterior work.

Forming up for new sidewalk between Randolph (to the right) and Building 1 (to the left) Buchanan in the background.



University ave. facade with new sidewalks and AC unit pads.



Building 1 as seen from the parking lot behind Guillory Hall (next to the old Saucier clinic.



Cleaning up the alley between building 1 and building 2. Sidewalks and lighting coming next.



Cleaned and yet to be cleaned brick on the Boucher street facade of building 2 as seen from the side of McLauren gym

From the clean bricks shot I will take a guess and say Building 1 as seen from the parking lot behind Guillory Hall has clean bricks.

[HelmutVII]

Yes building 1 has been cleaned for some time now. The exterior of building 1 is just about finished except for the columns at the main entrance and maybe some clean up and caulking here and there. Once they started with sidewalk construction you can figure that the outside work is pretty much completed because they won't use any more manlifts where they have sidewalks.

They moved out the job shack late last week so that means it's the beginning of the end. With the job shack gone the University Ave facade of building 1 can be better seen.



New rose garden area taking shape.



Building 1 and 2 as seen from the parking lot behind Guillory Hall.

After looking at the photo's for the last several months I think they can say, "this is the University of Louisiana"......It has been 54 years for me now. Big change I must say.....

There are one or two buildings accross the swamp from the student union facing the Blvd. I don't remember the name of the building(s), but they are total eyesores. I don't think the buildings are being used for anything, at least they shouldn't be. I hope they are being torn down to make a clear view of the swamp and renovated student union. Just a simple removal would help beautify the campus. Can you please confirm the status of them?

I don't know the names either but they are used. Believe parking and transit office is on bottom floor as well as powerlifting teams gym.

I just realized there is a separate thread on the student union construction and I should have posted there. Nonetheless, these two buildings are total dumps and eyesores. I think I read they will be torn down after construction on the student union. I'll have to reread that.

Straight across from the Campus Swamp is the B.I. Moody School of Business. In my book it is still brand new.

You must be talking about the two buildings to the left (when facing)of Moody.

You are talking about Coronna and Olivier, they will be torn down during the Union construction. They are pretty hideous haha.
