Cplatt Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Its that time of the year where i started asking whats in the 2015/16 budget for campus or facility upgrades. Anything new going up or added on the campus? I see our enrollment is going up so what are we doing to not only attract these students but keep them? Feedback please.

KABrother88 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Here is a link from last summer concerning the construction of various projects on campus. http://www.lamar.edu/newsletter/summer-2014/new-construction.html The softball stadium has been discussed not being ready...honestly don't see it being truly finished until after the season. The new admin building is going up now and it looks like they have already made quite a bit of progress. The other building is supposed to be across from the new admin building if I remember correctly...I haven't notice if construction has started there...have only seen the frame work of the new admin building from the highway.

Big T Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Construction has not started with the other building. They are going to finish the admin building before starting on the honors college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUSportsFan Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 This may be dated, but the most recent Capital Expenditure Plans document that I found (October, 2014 for Fiscal Years 2015-2019) shows September, 2016. It also shows the Vincent-Beck renovations that month. I'll believe it when I see it. Also, I'm too far removed to have any definite information. I would hope the start is sooner than later since student fees are helping fund the Setzer Center renovations. The Lamar items start on page 20 of the linked document below. http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/reports/PDF/6009.PDF?CFID=25438865&CFTOKEN=84944829 If you are curious about projects on other campuses, the link is a consolidation of projected capital expenditures for Texas universities and colleges.

KABrother88 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Doesn't sound like much but the Montange got new goals this week...they were the goals used in the Syracuse regional of the NCAA tournament. Again it doesn't sound like much but then consider the previous goals have been in use since the Montange opened in 1984 you can see they are a much needed upgrade. http://lamarcardinals.com/m/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/042215aaa.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cplatt Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Those are fantastic, baby steps but progress. They are also doing a new design for the floors. Looks like the new president and his vision is starting to pay off. I know that his background is in marketing so im excited about the future.

bigredfan2 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I am so glad that they have been replaced. As a photographer, I was alway watching where I stepped around the back right side. There was a 'landmine plug' that powered the shot clock and did not want to be 'The One' to stop the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
