Cam 1 stuck again. This time frozen since Tues AM @ 0721.

unacceptable.

so i was told that LU has purchased the quality inn by outback and the old days inn (now university inn), in preparation for when the circle will be torn down and the new dorms are built. so with those acquisitions and the wingate i would assume that is enough to house all of the students but that would put a hurting on hotel rooms for a bit even with the new hampton inn and suites being built.

yep..i knew i was right about the quality inn purchase.

looks awesome! how about hd cameras finally coming....for basketball

With use of the truck, students will be able to produce content for events like club sports, concerts and NCAA basketball away games, according to truck manager Wes Albers. He is responsible for overseeing the proper use of all equipment while maintaining a smooth production environment.

Additionally, a high-definition conversion of the Vines Center control room video systems is currently in the planning stage, according to Braun.

football?

Now if they could get the Liberty Channel on DirecTV so more people could see these programs.

[jbock13]

“The new high-definition remote truck provides opportunities for communications students to produce events anywhere on and off campus in (High Definition) that may be aired live on our Liberty TV Channel,” Braun said.

Too bad nobody can get the Liberty Channel 5 miles outside of Candler's Mountain. HD is no good if nobody can get it.

p.s my internet isn't fast enough for that so don't say it

I live in a special little spot 40 miles away that actually picked up the signal years ago. It's gone now, and I haven't seen it since June.

[Flamesfanva]

At least get the signal strong enough so DirecTV carries it as a local station.

[jbock13]

I think it has to be a full power station for FCC must carry rules to apply. Right now it's still a Class A digital, which means DirecTV will not carry it.

This is a big reason why TBN is dumping their local translators and buying full power stations, so cable systems will be mandated to carry it.

I noticed today that the roofing steel behind home plate is up on the new baseball stadium, which finally gives it a real three-dimensional look.

[SumItUp]

Someone please add the link again to the construction cameras.

also @LUADjeff has been tweeting great pix of the baseball stadium

will try to put some in the baseball expansion thread later

[Cider Jim]

Equally as impressive, if not more so, is that they added the roofing steel to the library today!

[BJWilliams]

I saw them sectioning off the floors there last week when I was headed to the Vines Center. They are making very good progress. I think the chances are good itll be open end of next year (yeah a Liberty project opening on time...what a concept)

Front-page headline in the local paper:

Liberty University readies for construction of student center, music and science buildings
Posted on December 6, 2012
by Amy Trent
Liberty University is readying for construction on three sprawling Jeffersonian buildings in the heart of campus, including a 40,000-square-foot student center.

LU already has submitted and received comment on the preliminary site plans, which include demolishing several old buildings attached to DeMoss Hall, building a 100,000-square- foot science building and a 100,000-square-foot School of Music.

wow awesome. On a side not, I hope to see plans for free standing business, engineering and communication buildings after this phrase.

[BJWilliams]

There are plans being drawn up no doubt, but there is a lot still ahead of them right now so itll probably be some years before you see ground being broken (probably the Communication and business schools first, with engineering coming after one of the other two is finished...just my speculation)

[01LUGrad]

Is it just me, or does the campus face-lift resemble an old game of Sim-City with unlimited funds?

[4everfsu]

I thought they were already building an engineering college?

Just a few renderings from the N&A.

[thepostman]

holy crap...so will this eliminate north campus or is this much additional space really needed. I much prefer the centralized main campus rather than having classes at north.

North Campus has been mostly eliminated already. Most classes are already now all in Demoss again. North Campus or Green Hall is now all Online and student activities.

No they are now classifying students by the level of tuition they are actual paying and those students are only paying half. They are only worth half a student...

Am I the only one here bothered by the double pdf extension on that file?

[ALUmnus]

Probably.
