Man, a second look and still nothing.

If it had been a snake, it would have bit you, Horny!

Not to worry, I'm sure there's an anecdote for that.

Looks like the facade has been ripped off Carrier. Glad to see that ugly gray composite material gone as it was an eyesore for the bluestone area (still plagued by Roop and Miller).

Were the books/collections in Carrier moved to Rose or were they not exposed to the elements as a result of the work being done?

Think they were moved over to the old DHub dining Hall

I'd take that gray composite over luke-warm brick in our design scheme ...i think it works - all about the design and complimentary materials/colors

Ikenberry Hall is all but gone... maybe a couple of scoops of foundation left. New utilities going in.

Renovated Convo, open for business. You can really see what the building was built for before Uncle Ron reappropriated it.

Wow, very impressive top to bottom! Nice home base for most of the Olympics! Huge upgrade for the department, hopefully this builds on the success we have been seeing.

Also nice seeing chairbacks for volleyball, they should have a huge year as SBC favorites on the new court.

Very very nice. Hope the sports that will be HQ'ed there enjoy their new digs!!

This is nice. Very well done. I couldn't imagine this. To think I would have been all for taking the building down.

One thing to note. Being sunk down below ground level as the court is, was not part of the original design. When the redesign came about and the building configured for basketball operations under Uncle Ron's watch, the framework of the building was already in place. They actually took the heavy earth moving equipment inside the framework and dug down. Having the floor below grade wasn't part of the original concept. It seems to work well with this design.
