1967-Nethken Hall
1968-Bookstore (also renovated in 1986)

I can't find the exact date, but I pretty sure that the old Kidd Residence Hall as well as Neilson & Caruthers dorms were built while Dr. Taylor was in charge.

I stayed in Kidd the summer of '68, and it was either brand new or relatively new, so I'm sure it was built in Taylor's tenure.

I'm sure TechAlum didn't mean anything when he wrote "old Kidd Residence Hall."

How about the Natatorium? I know the pool itself has been around for awhile, when was the building structure built? Under FJ or DR?

Add the Lambright Sports Complex to buildings constructed during F.J.'s time.

I didn't catch that. But, yeah, I feel like I'm falling apart, too. Thankfully I lasted longer than the building did, hopefully way longer.

Pretty sure the Natatorium opened in 84 or 85. I think it was opened before DR was President.

So 1984? Quote from article linked:
"In 1984, Tech constructed a roof (hereinafter the "Roof") over its swimming pool or Natatorium. As shown by a photo of the Natatorium (Appendix A), the Roof extends to within several feet of the ground with steel beams or buttresses sloping beyond the roof line to the ground. After hoisting himself up on one of the buttresses, a person would have to negotiate approximately 154 feet of the metal roof to its apex which is approximately 56 feet off the ground."
"The shrubs were planted in 1984, the year that Tech's Natatorium roof was constructed."

Lawsuit of family of student who jumped off the roof.

How many of F. Jay Taylor (1962-87) era facilities are still standing? Looks right? Doesn't look much was done under DR regarding athletics except for a new soccer field and tennis courts.

Still not paying attention to your mentor 30+ years later.

Hmmm? What did DR build? What has fallen apart? When was Lomax Hall built?

Once again, I posted that BEFORE I saw my "mentors" post much further down the thread.

T-mo was our mentor... And we are not to forget that.
