buddy of my just linked me to a TP article saying the scoreboard is being installed this week
In that article, Mainieri sez the OF fence will be two feet higher than the old Box. He sez it might be a pitcher's park.

The PMAC was built at a time when they did not really care to much about upholding the traditional architecture of the campus.

Yea, you can tell what buildings on campus were constructed from about 1950-85.

The Union renovations will make it look more modern, but with the traditional feel.

Middleton...

I really want to know who in the frick decided that it would be a good idea to obstruct the original design of the Quad, by the most famous Landscape Architect's Firm...

ETA: the union would already be done had they been able to simply close the building down and renovated. not really sure what's up with the M&DA building's lax

+1. Most state buildings constructed during the 60's are hideous.

Old friend of mine that was in architecture always said how much everyone hated the library and how at night they used to sling shot oranges at it from the other side of the quad.
