The new business school is one of the ugliest buildings I have ever seen

Timing depends on funding, but a new library is proposed to be built near Tiger Stadium in the LSU Master Plan that was released last year.

They have Tower Drive labelled as Highland Road on that image. What attention to detail by whichever company we paid millions to design this plan.

The plan also shows Tureaud Hall being gone (good riddance to that stink pit) and the Dairy Store being gone (would be a crime, unless they replaced it elsewhere). Garbage Master Plan is garbage.

The new engineering building is one of the best in the country. The business building is in a similar light. They’ll build a new one eventually it just takes time man. Our campus is in line with pretty much all SEC campuses it’s not as bad as people make it seem.

Last year, Louisiana State University topped them all with a 536-foot-long “leisure” river in the shape of the letters “LSU,” part of an $85 million renovation and expansion of its gym. It was L.S.U. students who footed the bill.


quote:

In the case of L.S.U., the lazy river was financed entirely by student fees, an addendum to their annual tuition. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, over the past five years, those fees increased by 60 percent, nearly triple the amount L.S.U. students paid in 2000.



Library? No. We spend money on more important things like lazy rivers.

Even more embarrassing is that a school that size has "a" library
Even disregarding Special Collection in Hill Memorial Library, various departments have their own "libraries" in their buildings (I know of Physics in Nicholson and Anthropology in Howe-Russell off the top of my head). They're just not stand-alone libraries in separate facilities.
