That's what I figured. Hopefully it will look good.

I hope the same people in charge of maintenance of the elevators in the SEZ aren't the same people that take care off the escalators on the East Side. It's been a while since we had a year pass and that thing didn't break down multiple times in a season.

Les Miles told you 103,500 so you do not believe Les Miles?

It isn't going to be just elevators. Probably illegal and too big of a risk

that would brake fire code. What happens if there's a fire in TS, do people just jump off the side of the upper deck.

Never realized how shitty it looked before. They half assed that thing when they built it.

It's because they had to divvy the money up to build the similarly half assed Middleton Library. It was part of the deal, I believe.

Although, I actually like the inside the stadium aesthetic of the S Endzone. Middleton, on the other hand, has literally no redeeming aesthetic qualities. None. So, it's really not even HALF assed.

It's a fricking turd in the middle of campus. It's embarrassing that it's the main library for a college this size.

So, looking at these two pictures is it possible for that glass structure to be around the existing East Upper ramp? The ramp/no ramp discussion from a few days ago got me thinking. Or is the ramp right behind it from that angle?

No, they're next to each other. In the second pic you just cant see the ramps because the offices are in front of it.

It's ridiculous. I would pay a damn library fee to see it blown up & rebuilt somewhere else on campus. I don't even care if it's completed past my time at LSU

Maybe there's some kind of access to the ramps over there somehow? It's seems crazy to me that they would rely solely on elevators and stairs for that many people. Elevators break and shite happens.

You can see the new building in front of the ramps more clearly in this photo.

so whats the thin strip on that building going to be where there is no facade? I would think windows but it looks like walls are already going up inside.

I assumed windows as well but I'm not sure. I guess we won't know until they finish using that freight elevator.
