When will they tear down the old dorms off Tech Drive in front of the Nat?
When will they tear down the old dorms off Tech Drive in front of the Nat?
Not soon enough... Just got back from Freshman Orientation and the dorms in the old horseshoe, Cott/McFarland,Hutch, etc, look straight out of inner-city Detroit. Mitchell is worn out but does not look as bad as the horseshoe. Real eye sores especially being located on TECH Drive.
When they finish building the new ones (in progress) to replace them plus hold the increased attendance...

It's interesting to see how much has changed since this plan was given to the Administration in 2014. Plans for Wyly Tower, Prescott Library, as well as parking garages along Tech Drive at the old Nat location and along California have all changed in the past 2 years alone. I would love to have a more comprehensive report from Tech on what else has changed. Will Tech Green actually happen? Will the old bookstore eventually come down? When will the renovation to the Student Center begin?
Too many of the dormitories are shit holes...as the father of an incoming freshman, I am appalled at the state of disrepair. Of course, we "get to go" and clean and paint his room in Pearce before he moves in on Labor Day! Mold and mildew in the rooms especially the HVAC venting.
Dan Reneau needs a large foot planted in his all too jovial ass for allowing the dorms to ever reach this state...and don't tell me about budget cuts. Now Less Guice has to get this moved along on a faster track...or I'll be building a house in Ruston...****ing ridiculous!
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
I'm all ears!

I'm interested in that, too!
