Student Union Construction.

Okay, I do have to BIATCH about something: seeing the old bricks side-by-side with the new ones looks terrible. Couldn't they at least just replace ALL the bricks along the McKinley St. facade? It wouldn't look nearly as obvious .......and surely it wouldn't be that expensive?????? I just hate to see all this money spent, only to have it spoiled by seeing something like that.

Work in the new courtyard continues. I really like the new lamps.......very cool. And I know its controversial, but I also like the siding.

I like the white siding also ... looks great from afar.

When is the expected "ribbon cutting" finish date?

The ghettos of LA look great if you are far enough away, like 30k over LA.

Actually this would look OK in stucco, real cypress siding.

exaggeration a little maybe.

Yes, my thoughts exactly.
Plus, 'real cypress wood' on a modern building? Now THAT would pretty awful, for sure. And hasn't Lafayette had its share of stucco yet, lol?

[CajunRebel]

I think someone said it earlier, but I think it looks nice enough now but it probably won't age well.

Student Union construction is at the beginning of the end with Landscaping going in.
