Future Campus Framework Discussion

what about rebranding it the Salt Warrior, since this is the Salt City? Salt can’t offend anyone can it?

Everything offends someone these days.

Now if we could just get some good Syracuse marketing to be hung on the outside of the dome to cover up the concrete!

I wonder if we considered decorative cladding for the exterior - or if it was deemed too risky (weather changes) and too expensive to maintain.

The signs a good addition and I hope itll light up too

Can't imagine you don't take advantage of a chance to further light up the night skyline on top of the new outside dome lighting that already looks so nice.

Honestly if they could take out some of that concrete and use the same material they used for the roof. The ptfe but translucent for the sides of the dome, that would be pretty cool. It would bring a ton of light in and make it feel outside but indoors.

I'm no structural engineer, but I'd imagine that'd be pretty difficult to do given how much the structural integrity of the dome is dependent on all that concrete.

68’x25’ seems pretty big.

That makes it 13 pct of the size of the Dome lengthwise on that side and 18 pct height wise. Render looks pretty close despite those numbers seeming pretty big

I meant like sections so you had giant windows. But yes of course you would need to supplement that loss structural integrity with steel frame or something.

The steal supports are what’s holding up the building. Between posts, it’s just for enclosing the building.

The future models we have seen with additions to the existing dome will definitely create a nice effect even if it's not coming through onto the field/court itself.

All the concrete just sucks. But one thing at a time now. Syracuse is steadily knocking down other major projects--seating, lighting, scoreboard, signage, air conditioning.

The next thing to get renovated has got to be the sucky exterior of the building

Awful for a collegetown imo

I think drunk 2 am Popeyes sounds lit but that’s just me

So, I was strolling through the thread reading about the JMA sign ...and how work began over 2 weeks ago, only to find out tonight that the "Popeyes" sign is up.

Makes sense

Models? What models?

Re: the sign when are they lighting those suckers?

Pass. Give me a University Hots or some local dive for food. College towns need character imo

Very interesting. Hopefully it will ease congestion in those areas.

Andy Leahy is scooping professional journalists like none other lately.

I had the privilege of seeing these awhile ago. Good stuff; very thoughtful plan from SU and the design team.
