3-4. look like new intramural fields (#3 looks like a new intramural soccer field, #4 looks like the long-planned intramural fields west of Tech Drive...7 fields with 3 possibly convertible to two intramural baseball/softball fields.)
It looks like the parking lot around the stadium will be redone with trees lining different sections of the lot. A new road will be constructed between the parking lots and Tech Drive, since Bulldog Drive will be removed.
Main Campus:
5. looks like some sort of intramural facility
6-7. look like new classrooms maybe? (It wouldn't surprise me if one of these buildings is a new Speech and Audiology Building. Tech has a good Audiology Doctorate program, and more space is needed for the clinical portion of the program. Most, if not all, of the speech and audiology programs are housed in Robinson Hall. There are plans for a new $9 million Speech and Audiology Building according to some of the documents I've seen on the Louisiana Board of Regents website.)
8, 9, & 15. look like parking garages (The location of these facilities replace current parking lots. Also of note is that the Early Childhood Education Center behind Nethken Hall is gone due to a possible parking garage.)
10. looks like a Student Center renovation
11-14. look like possible new student housing? (Cottingham, Mitchell, Richardson, Hutcheson, Jenkins, and McFarland Halls will be demolished to make way for some new intramural fields, so I assume new student housing will be constructed on the south part of the campus where current student housing exists.)
16. is Tech Pointe expansion
17. is the business building annex (Construction of the College of Business Building expansion is scheduled to start this Spring.)
18. is new Integrated Engineering & Science Building (Tech will meet with an architectural firm out of Shreveport this month to discuss the design of the building. Once this building is finished, Bogard Hall will be renovated.)
There's also building that doesn't have a number where the old CAB was.
Bulldog Drive is gone.
The old Nat is gone.
The old west campus dorms are all gone.
The old residential life building (Harris Hall?) is gone.
