I have them saved on my old laptop. The Quad before Middleton is a sight to behold. Anyone have any photos?

It is time to get rid of that shithole. It doesn't even have matching architecture. What a joke.

The original Quad design looks so much better than what we have today with Middleton cutting half of it off. The same architect who designed Stanford worked on LSU, however, he passed before our campus was finished.

Yeah, Fonville Winans took a bunch of aerials of LSU campus, including a after the snow storm in 1940.

Look them up, they are very cool. Fonville Winans Louisiana is a great coffee table photo book too

The Quad was originally designed to resemble a cross. However, as LSU and the state of Louisiana commonly does, they frick things up to a whole new, unparalleled level.

By doing so, they slapped this horrendous, barbaric Russian Gulag right in the middle of the intended cross design known as Middleton Library.

I think many schools screw up their library. My daughter goes to Wash U in St. Louis.

Their library in middle of their quad:



What rest of campus looks like:

Eta: just saw you posted the same pic

Thankfully LSU is planning to demolish/relocate that ugly mofo with the new master plan they're about to finish up

Anyone else felt like Lockett was out of place as well?
