The circle dorms look like little single wide trailers in front of Vegas hotels.

Great photos. I just hope we do not run out of parking spaces.

additional parking garages are in the plans

Source? I seem to remember that, but I can't remember where.

here's one source: http://www.liberty.edu/libertyjournal/i ... MID=132397

VMDO recently presented the university’s leadership team with a 3D model of a projected campus plan. It is still in development, and Liberty will have ongoing discussions with architects to make adjustments according to demand.

The proposed changes include efforts to make campus more pedestrian-friendly, with traffic routed away from the main academic areas. Recommendations call for a new pedestrian bridge stretching over U.S. 460. A level greenway is also planned to make it easier for people to walk from main campus to Marie F. Green Hall.

The plan also calls for additional parking garages to make areas more accessible for students living off campus and guests to the university.

renderings: according to the key, "P" is parking garage(s)

at least 4 by my count, not sure of the big lot in the upper corner by what is currently Green Hall/TRBC

another update on the new student union: http://www.liberty.edu/news/index.cfm?P ... MID=150770

Liberty University has begun preliminary work on a new four-story, 150,000-square-foot student center, which is scheduled to open Fall 2016. The center will feature new dining options, gaming areas, a bowling alley, and plenty of lounge seating throughout to encourage socialization and relaxation...

...The first floor of the center will offer six new dining venues, including Garbonzo’s (Mediterranean), Star Ginger (Asian), UFood (burgers), The Grid Marketplace (a convenience store concept), and Argo Tea, which will be the first teahouse on campus. In addition to interior seating throughout, there will be patio seating on the south and west sides of the building...

...The second floor of the center will have a gaming area with billiards and various consoles. The Center for Multicultural Enrichment and Student Activities will relocate from Green Hall to the new center to provide centralized access and increased interaction with students.

The third floor will house meeting spaces for student clubs and organizations, including the Student Government Association. The north wing of the third floor will have a large dining/event space with seating for up to 700 people.

The basement level of the center will have an eight-lane bowling alley...

I don't even know what to say about all that.

campus is gonna be like freakin' Disney World

I like the Disney World comment. I have been told that there are "plans on file", for a theme park on Liberty Mountain, sometime in the future.

PH, you are showing your age! Different generation, different LU!

[Sly Fox]

Heritage USA was a blast back in the day. Think of the water slide we could have down the side of the mountain, JLFJR! HaHa

[JLFJR]

Sly, not saying we haven't been tempted. Just had to grow up at some point!

[JLFJR]

Tough for me though. I'm the biggest kid at LU.

Liberty Mountain Mega Water Slide......

You too can feel the power of So let it be written. So let it be done. If only we knew someone high up in leadership who could make Jerry World a reality

I grew up a kid of Televangelism. In fact, one of my best friends in HS wrote his doctoral thesis on it.

I also half expected to see you in C'ville on Sunday night at Fleetwood Mac!

Dear Jr:

please find room in one of your beautiful brand new buildings for a PROPER home for the Alumni Association

like an alumni lounge.

that I could hang out in every 2 yrs when I get down there

maybe the top floor of the new tower?

[JLFJR]

PH, again I was tempted. Several old friends from my LU student days were begging me to go to the concert with them but we've seen them several times in the last few years and just didn't have the time. PA, good thought on the Alumni Association. The new SC should have plenty of room for that! We'll make it happen!

[Sly Fox]

Medic is our idea man now that LUconn is too busy for us.

[JLFJR]

SC or the Tower, I should have said. Another good thought!

[PAmedic]

I gotta ask favors on here more often- I'm an idea man

now how 'bout re-instating wrestling as a DI sport?

(couldnt help myself)

[PAmedic]

and the new tower WOULD be perfect for the Alumni!

I look forward to seeing the revised master plan sir!

[JLFJR]

Thanks for your input, PA! Very helpful.

[PAmedic]

I noticed the dodge

but thank you for listening all the same!

[Purple Haize]

Yes. Locking you up in the Tower would be a great idea

PH, again I was tempted.

PA, good thought on the Alumni Association. The new SC should have plenty of room for that! We'll make it happen!

Will I be seeing you next Wednesday at ZZ Top?

[PAmedic]

see, I'm HELPFUL

if we ever get signatures re-enabled, I'm adding that quote
