Future Campus Framework Discussion

[sutomcat]

We were influencing the Browns then ( not just a uni-thread thing). That was the original dog pound.

Maybe the inspiration for the Kennel Club too, a little closer to home?

Syracuse University has spent $143 million scooping up nearby properties. What’s the plan?

The university is expanding its reach beyond the traditional campus border

Still wonder why this wont be ready until Nov? how much work is there to do on an atrium area like this once its closed up? they must be poking thru the walls to get that done before heavy usage starts in the fall anyway.

I peaked in the construction area at the spring football game. I think it looks like there may be access going down to the lower level of the dome.

Where did you hear November?

I'm pretty sure I read November in a previous article.

I was thinking Sala mentioned November in a recent video interview, but I could be mistaken.

I was thinking Sala mentioned November in a recent video interview, but I could be mistaken.

From August, Sala said that he "hopes that Miron Victory Court will be ready for use at some point during the fall." I'm assuming he meant Fall of 2024, since construction hadn't even started last August, right?

Just watched the interview. Confirmed.

There will be a special opening event as well it seems.

Does anyone know if the 200 level seats will be 100 or 300 seats?

FAQs

Why are we doing this Project?
What does this project entail?
What will the upgraded seats look like and what size will they be?
All bench seating throughout the entire venue will be updated to chairback seating, including the 100, 200 and 300 levels – making the JMA Dome one of only a handful of college venues with chairback seating for every single fan.

The new chairback seats have been selected and ordered from partner company, Irwin Seating, and range in size from 18”-20” wide. Currently each ticket holder is allocated 18” on the metal benching, however this is directly impacted by the size of the individuals. With the new chairback seating, each guest in the 300 level will be seated in 18” wide seats. Seats in the 100 and 200 level will be 20” wide and feature arm rests.

The company supplying the seats

Irwin Seating Company | USA Seating Manufacturer & Supplier | Irwin Seating Company (en-US)

We design and manufacture auditorium, theater, stadium seating and telescopic bleachers and platforms for K-12, college, arts centers, cinemas, and more.

Gates can be open without the atrium area be usable though.

but I also would have thought this would have been a priority to get done, given the hype around the season and the fact much of this work can be done without causing issues in the dome itself.

Wondering if it was always planned to be November or if construction hit some delays which is always typical in construction

 

[upperdeck]

Delays in time or delays in materials. Do we really know what is going on with it other than some high level drawings?

You miss Sept we have games. But Oct you have a few weeks to get things done.

Still they worked odd hours to get the roof on. And you have june july aug, just seems like a good chunk of time for an over sized garage addition. Maybe the jacuzzies are on back order.

It is pretty weird that they could put an entirely new roof on without missing any games but constructing a lobby is going to take 8+ months.

All about scope and commitment.

SU paid a premium to get the roof done. This (atruim) is a smaller but still a complicated project too. However, it is a nice to have vs vital to have project

I'm wondering if the "breach" (breaking through the concrete Dome wall) is the hold up. Seems to me this would entail a lot of equipment, possible excavation, and significant debris requiring closure of the surrounding spaces. If this is the case they might just be delaying the most invasive work until after graduation.

 

[BVille44]

I wonder if the grand opening will be in conjunction with Homecoming which is November 1st - 3rd.

Heck, didn't they erect the Empire State Building in 6 months?
