Sad but true!:laugh:
It really goes back to the oil bust. Over about a 4 year period in the mid 80s the physical plant staffs of every school in the state were cut more than 75%. They were never restaffed. At many...
I should have included Robinson in my original list. It was completely renovated in the 80s. It opened in 1940, the same year Bogard, Tolliver and Howard Auditorium opened.
About 99% of our alumni base completely agrees with you. The new IESB seems to be a blend of modern and historic with its brick and columns. But sandwiched between it and Bogard is Tech Pointe,...
I don't think there are any plans at the present time to tear down Adams, Aswell, or Dudley - all WPA dorms that were renovated in the 80s.
And it's also worth mentioning that the original...
Dr. Guice also mentioned that there were 4 "complexes" of dorms under construction at the moment that would open this year. A total of 11 "complexes" would eventually all be open by the end of next...
Just to follow-up on this and ask a question to anyone who may know. At 130,000 square feet this building would be bigger than Bogard and Carson-Taylor combined. The plan is to renovate Bogard when...
Near Tech Pointe.

According to Dr. Guice in his interview on 97.7 yesterday the bridge financing to start work on the Integrated Engineering and Science building was approved by the Louisiana Bond Commission last...
Early 80s. I've seen pictures from around 1980 and it was still uncovered.
Tech Green is on page 32 of the plan. I spoke to a number of people about the plan last September. Several told me the concept of Tech Green was going to be scrapped. Others said it may end up...
For those of you who haven't been back to campus in a while you can always "tour" the campus by using the Google Street View. The latest is from June, 2016.

Mayfield Avenue. Had to look it up because I could never remember the name of that street when I was in school much less now. :icon_roll: In the plan Tech Green ends at Mayfield. The plan has had...
The plan for that site was a parking garage with access from both sides - entrances on Tech drive on the lowest level and access to the road on the other side from a higher level. Not sure if that's...
Agreed. I've reached out to several people over the past few months and received conflicting information about certain projects. But I wouldn't characterize any of the projects Tech has chosen to...
The engineering building was not part of the bond package, as it's not a revenue producing facility. As I understand it, the state appropriated the money for it several years ago. In addition, Tech...
It's not state taxpayer money that will be used for the dorms. Revenue bonds were floated to both pay for the dorms and refinance the remaining outstanding debt on the student housing built in the...
Those dorms will all be gone in a couple of years. I know it's not soon enough for the kids living in them now, but there is a plan in place to move on from them.
All four Adams Circle dorms were gutted and completely renovated in the mid 80s.

This is what Tech submitted to the state in pdf. form last year. It's not easy to...

It was completely gutted and renovated in 1987 and will be completely renovated again in a couple of years. Tolliver - just steps away - was also completely renovated and reopened in 2003. Those...
