his has been a long time coming. Landscape architecture students were studying the removal of Middleton, Lockett, & CEBA 15 years ago. They did not fit the architecture of campus.

I hope the university will similarly engage architecture students to think about what a new library could and should look like. Middleton was a travesty but a whole bunch of people in the administration approved it. After the South end zone addition that bastardized the look of the North endzone, I'm a little worried that the current leadership similarly lacks any credibility in making this decision. That said, the Taylor Hall (engineering) renovation and addition seem to look really solid.
I wonder if the university would consider incorporating some version of the original Hill Memorial Library that was downtown into a new plan. (The new Pentagon and the conversion of Alumni Hall into the Journalism Building both harken back to structures that were in the downtown campus.)
A new library would certainly have to be bigger than this original downtown building. But the dome and the details seem to be something to keep in mind.
Or maybe we just go with something similar to the Business Education Compex and keep it modern. It's a big decision. Hope LSU gets it right.

We probably had some classes together.
