Reitz Union Student center for UF. Looks similar to me. It’s also a good selling point

Those pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a beautiful renovation, albeit more modern than classic in style. It’s a much needed space for the students and alongside Barnes is a major investment in the student experience. Kudos to all involved.

Environmental factors?

Yeah lets bring in more plastic to fix it...those living plants are causing environmental issues.

I wonder what environmental factors prevent it. When did growing vegetation become bad for the environment.

Seriously I'd drive a 6' tall Orange tree up to Cuse for them if they change their mind.

Damn I miss Jabberwocky .. I practically lived there .. was at open and close have poster for opening Jr Wells John Hammond

Some of us miss the original Jab.

I remember seeing a Stones tribute band there in ‘80 or ‘81.

(No, the picture below is not from that show. It’s just there to show the basement venue.)

Any update on phase 2 for the dome?

Any update on phase 2 for the dome?

At the least, I wonder where the installation of AC stands?

Pete said the goal was to have it completed in time for the 2021 graduation, which would be in early May (don't think that has been moved out, could be wrong on that).

Carrier Dome Air Conditioning Could be Installed by 2021 - Football Stadium Digest

An official said that Syracuse's goal is to install air conditioning at the Carrier Dome by its spring 2021 graduation, part of a multiyear renovation.

In this article, Pete said AC was 80% done in August of 2020.

Carrier Dome renovations continue ahead of football season-opener

The Carrier Dome renovations are on track to be completed by SU football's home-opener against Georgia Tech on Sept. 26.

I believe he later said he thought AC would be finished by March of 2021 and later still, I believe he said with no need to host crowds for events for football and basketball, the install of AC was even further ahead of schedule.

It is possible it is close to being complete now? Could an announcement be imminent?

Wasn't it 2 dr I is for a buck there during Friday happy hour? It was some insanely low price and the mixed drinks were strong.

Thanks I guess I never realized how new it was when I started in 1987. I remember it being open for my visit a year earlier. I loved the energy of the place

So much wasted youth. Or maybe that's so many wasted youth.

Jabberwocky opened in Kimmel around 1968 or '69.

I have copies of the James Taylor and Talking Heads shows.

Don't be stepping on toes...some of us resemble your remark...

Orange Trees don't grow in 30 degree weather. That's the environmental factor.

It was in the lobby Sudano. Inside the building. I believe the building was and remains heated during the winter.

Here is a picture of employees from the physical plant planting the orange tree in 1987.

I am not sure if it produced fruit. I only went into Schine occasionally. But it alway seemed to be healthy and doing well when I walked by it.

Since when does SU let the temperature in the building drop to 30 degrees? Do they like frozen pipes? Did you actually think before commenting?

I know it well. I worked at the firm that designed it. They also designed the Ensley Center. I am more accepting of it there, as it is an athletic facility and remote from campus. The Reitz Center is MUCH larger, in a totally different campus setting and even at that a bit more classy than the Schine reno (just my opinion).

I agree. I’ve been there a few times when they hosted gaming tournaments in the ballroom they have. It’s super nice there in every way. I was just saying that people complaining about the look of Schinr don’t see how it is somewhat similar tI other places

Played the Jab once a semester with the SU Jazz Workshop. It was always a highlight.

I thought it was the Orange Grove Tree that took my awesome parking spot away from me on the Quad.

 

[dollarbill44]

I hear you. Those pictures make it look like a mall. The reception desk looks like where you get popcorn and soda for a movie. Maybe that is what kids want these days.

Sad they got rid of the orange tree and won’t be bringing it back. That was the best part of the old building.

In other words, they killed it either removing it or in storage.

They might have but an orange tree costs like $100.

I think it is more likely that they got rid of that semi opaque roof above where the tree was that let enough natural light in to allow the tree to survive living indoors.

What a shame.
