Future Campus Framework Discussion

[supp]

What is unsightly? It's concrete and a white roof... like it has been since it was built.

I think the rollercoaster looks -ing awesome compared to the old golf dome look. What lets it down are the ugly concrete towers from the 1970s around it.

Im not sure that’s the arch. The arch has a b-ball court but I don’t know if a hockey/soccer type thing.

It's the barnes center, where the pool used to be. The pool is now upstairs.

 

[sutomcat]

Ahh. Multi Purpose Activity Court. It is in the Barnes Center. Separate from b-ball courts.

Cool. Gotta check that out. Looks nice.

What's going in the old DO space on Ostrom ?

Not totally sure. Don't think SU has said anything officially, but the rumor is new dorms.

Did they acquire adjacent properties ? Doesn't look like a big enough footprint to build a dorm there.

Yeah, they've slowly acquired the whole block (well, the eastern half of it) between University Place and Euclid over the last few decades.

Sad to see those old houses come down.

Wow. What a change. I imagine they will be trying every which way to get the frat and sorority houses on the east side of Comstock in the future.

Wow. When I was a junior & senior (‘93-95) I lived on Clarendon St. and the DO property was the cut through to walk to campus. Kind of wild that it’ll be dorms soon. Great location though, can’t blame SU for wanting that real estate.

 

[Moontan]

I lived on Clarendon my senior year, not too long after the DO moved to Ostrom.
Strange to see it get torn down.

Hopefully for the grand opening, SU or the Post-Standard does an in-depth photo tour of the facility. It looks incredible.

Gentlemen the topic of discussion of this thread is the campus framework. If you want to have a political debate take it to the OT Forum.

Just like the architects' renderings! (Only less diverse and not as well dressed. Renderings are always hilarious in terms of people-watching.)

Renderings are usually aspirational

Yes. I agree. The eye sore is not the crown. The eye sore is ...and always has been ...the concrete walls of the dome

Hungry Chuck’s, legendary SU off-campus bar, plans return to Marshall Street

The bar/restaurant would take ground floor space in The Marshall, the project that forced it to close in 2017.

SU's gonna fight this, I think.

Hope it works out, I believe they also have a lease with a bubble tea chain, but that is a huge empty series of storefronts.

I just liked it as a tail-gating alternative during bad weather.
