Hopefully they really do get it done in 2017 and it doesn't carry on and on like the Student Union did.

Either way, it will be great for LSU.

Actually the Student Union was just about on time. Not much over it was just a big renovation with a hard location and keeping the place open.

It was within about 4 months of it's contract time and a lot of that was adverse weather and unforeseen conditions. They had a lot of underground they did not know was there.

Who was the dude bitching about the new B school, said it was a waste of money
you know those "wooden slat" window cost around 7k for one pane. Now one pane is about 2' wide and 6-10' tall. no look at that building and tell me spending a few mil on windows isnt a waste.

Sorta disappointed in those pictures. I've seen those and thought they were going a different direction.

Because PFT is on the edge of campus it shouldn't have any where near as many issues as the union had.

One major duct bank but for the most part there was a lot of rerouting in the field (on the original building) and back when the original work was done no one really bothered to make as-built drawings to show field changes. They'd start to dig something and end up with anything from a plumbing line to transfer beams and all kinds of shite.
