For those having browser issues, here is the Academic & Performance Center that has some of us gushing ...

[Sly Fox]

The Tower/LU School of Divinity link only focuses on architectural plans that make my brain hurt. I didn't see any renderings. BUt i did think it was cool that there is essentially a skyway from the tower to mansion.

They are adding a roundabout at the corner of University Boulevard and Williams Stadium Drive .... essentially in front of the Visitors Center.

Sly, my understanding was that there was going to be a skyway (pedestrian bridge) from the Tower to DeMoss.

That is being added right now.

That will lead to an equally frustrating and amusing first few weeks of the semester watching people who aren't used to roundabouts adjust to it.

For the most part, I am not worried about the students. I am worried about their parents.

That bridge is still in the architectural plans linked above, CJ. But the early designs didnt have the bridge over to the mansion near Doc's final resting place as clearly defined as they are in these blueprints.

That does look amazing!

I know that some are floating around... my wife saw them in a meeting. Wish I knew where to grab them.

It looks like they are going to add six new tennis courts between the TOC parking lot and the new indoor facility. Any time lines on the indoor practice facility? That along with the new academic and performance center will be a great addition for recruiting.

Any ideas for some type of monument in the middle of the roundabout?

[Sly Fox]

I'm not sure an obstructed view would be a good idea for a bunch of teenage drivers.

Put a fountain in there. That gives you the aesthetic of a monument without obstructing the view.

[ALUmnus]

I'm thinking rebuild the guardshack and put it there, just as an homage....and warning.

[alabama24]

Good idea. I have a brick.

We should also get one of those mannequins that police departments sometimes put in police cars on the side of the road to make people think that someone is actually in there...or at least they did do that when I was in high school, parked it right on the shoulder of the on-ramp coming off of 460 onto Candler's Mountain Rd.

I drove through Wyndhurst yesterday and noticed they had a tall flag pole with a large American flag in the center of their roundabout. A flagpole wouldn't create an "obstructed view" and would make a strong statement entering LU's campus--could we fly the America flag on the same pole as the Christian flag, or would we need two separate flag poles?

You can fly it on the same pole, but it cannot be larger or flown above the American Flag.

Unless you are a church in NC... lol

Only one flag can be flown as high as the American flag on U.S. soil. You can probably guess which one it is based on who is posting.

That's about as accurate as the email I received telling me I inherited a fortune...

Exactly, if you have two flag poles of equal height, the American flag has to be flown on the right* but both flags can be flown at full staff (mast is used for ships).

*There are rules regarding frames of reference as to which right you should fly it, but generally if you're facing towards a building or something, it should be on the right if you're entering the building. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
