re: Upcoming Campus Developments (new library renderings included)

The State capital outlay is not a function of the operating budget other than the better the revenue, the more bonding capacity the state has. The State always has roughly 300 million in bonding capacity even in the worst of times. These projects have been in the works for years but it takes time. Unless the state did nothing else, it's a matter of finding space for LSU projects.

Also, the back half of the JBE administration, the State was running surpluses that helped backfill some of the projects and move them forward.

What happened to Lockett being demoed and turned into green space? Those basement classrooms take on water from time to time.

That's still the plan, it's just down the list. I'd expect some type of movement after the new library is built.

Nicholson gateway really transformed that part of campus. These new buildings will transform those areas. The plans look nice

The new quad will be a good spot for tailgating too.
