A couple of weeks ago I passed through Ruston on my way to New Orleans. I was able to snap some pics of our campus. Just want to share.
The new Business building is nice. Also, they are adding brick intersections on Homer St.I love the new landscaping
Please edit down your post if you are quoting my posted pics. No one wants to see a ton of repeated pics.
It's certainly an upgrade over the old CAB, but I'm not a fan of the new business building. Tile belongs in the bathroom or on the kitchen floor, not covering the exterior of any building on Tech's campus. Big mistake IMO. Also, I don't like how there is no prominent entrance at the front-center of the building. I think we could have done much better, but we are stuck with it for the next 50 years.Originally Posted by qng001

I expected you to post something negative. Geez dude, give it a rest.
I liked it. The business building is quite nice.
Give it a rest? Really? I posted an opinion in one post that happened to be different from yours.
And on every single square inch inside of Carson-Taylor and Nethken Halls.
I think the new buildings look great.
Those two are in serous need of renovation. I hope it's at least somewhere on the to-do list.
I'm gonna agree with D06 on this one. The first thing I noticed was the tile and it looks bad. One may not be able to tell from the pics but in person it sticks out like a sore thumb. I also don't like the 2 round columns side by side. It does not go with the style of the rest of the building. Being an architect, I was fairly disappointed that this was approved and built on our campus.
i can't see the tile in the picture, but i think it's a silly complaint. i like the two side-by-side columns. just because you don't like the style doesn't mean it's a bad design.
Trust me, you have to see it in person to really get what I'm talking about. Also the color of the tile does it no favor. It is a yellowish color that clashes with the color of the stucco on the enterprise building. It matches the color that is used on all of NLULM's buildings. Different styles of architecture or not, we need to have consistent base color on all of our campus buildings.
We can argue all day on the columns as a matter of personal preference but the use of neoclassical style round columns doubled up like that, looks forced on a building that is more modern in design.
It looks like a building that should be on ULM's campus.
See, that's what I meant in an earlier post. I haven't thought to check out the business building, but seems like that would have been built to be similar to the enterprise one and/or one or both could have been in the style of Keeny or any of the really old buildings; and like you said, at least in color, something to tie them together. Seems like the Lambright addition on the west side could have matched somewhere. At least the slanted "bird beak" roofs on the newest apartments match the slant on the enterprise building....
I know people on here have discussed how the 70's buildings stick out (Harper, Caruthers, etc.), and now with this new rash of construction going on, they're doing it all over again but 2012 style. Seems like they would have done it "right" this time. Still going to have a big mixture all over. Well, at least it looks that way to some of us on here. (OK, waiting for some of you to let me have it and tell me I'm stuck in the olden days.)
