re: Upcoming Campus Developments (new library renderings included)

Louisiana is not a fricked-up state.

The only complaint is I wish they had kept more of the traditional Spanish architecture in the proposed new buildings.

Agree very much! Except it’s not Spanish style but Italian Renaissance architectural style. I’d rather see the integrity of that theme run throughout the campus.

Still pissed they got rid of the old Huey P field house with the pool. Yeah yeah it was nasty and a great place to catch a staph infection in it’s later years BUT iit has so many memories for sooo many people I selfishly wanted it to stay the same.

I thought the state and by extension LSU were broke?

Drill Baby! Drill! $$$$$$$$$

Whether one agrees or disagrees, I appreciate the work behind that post .

Is the new library also replacing the Electrical Engineering building?

Moscona mentioned the other day on his show that the arena announcement is coming soon

I seriously think that as LSU grows, which its continuing to yearly, those shitty apartments and other slums around campus are going to get bought up and demoed by private developers for student housing. Its inevitable. LSU doesn't have enough dorms on campus and prime real estate that hasn't been developed on near campus is pretty much gone. The only option is to continue developing down Burbank, Nicholson, and River Road, but eventually the commute to campus will make it not worth it for students. Cue private developers coming in, buying out these terrible areas and redeveloping them

Agreed. It does not go out of style.

I like the small details of making campus more walkable/less cars in the core areas.
