Wondering what is under construction in terms of facilities in the American right now.

Is there a start date for Houston's basketball?

What about Cincy's arena, has that started?

Temple has football stadium out there...not sure the start date.

They're building a new bathroom in one of the dorms finally.

Does Rice still have the piss wall in their stadium?

What's wrong with piss walls? Even Tiger Stadium in B.R. has them (or they did anyway. Haven't peed there in a while.) Makes you feel like you're getting away with something bad.

As far as facilities at Tulane, Troy Dannen said that he would have a prioritized facilities improvement plan in place by the end of June. Turchin Stadium is getting new turf after this season, and allegedly a 'green monster' in right field with relocated bull pens.

ugh I forgot about that. I think the old Moody had something like that too. Or maybe it was the floor to waist urinals....the worst of the urinal designs.

No start date set for the stadium. Still working out the designs and the community outrage stuff first.

Big project at the moment is the olympic sports facility for soccer, track, field hockey and lacrosse. If you click on the mock up, you can see the progress: http://campusoperations.temple.edu/campu...evelopment

That clears the way for the football stadium site.

Piss walls are fine if you are by yourself and can aim. But at Rice you get peed on and I am not much of a R Kelly fan

Im just glad tdecu's bathrooms have ac now. Robertson's bathroom had no ac and were steamy piss saunas in the summer.

Houston just hired Greg Brown at AECOM to design the $60M Hofheinz renovation. He worked (or is working) on the Arizona, Illinois, Ole Miss and Clemson basketball arena renovations.

The design phase will last close to 12 months. Construction will begin next March and last 18 months. The new building will open in November 2018.

I'm sure the new Hofheinz facade will blend well with the new basketball practice facility. Inside, we are going from an oval to a rectangular seating bowl and increasing the premium seating options.

In addition to the basketball arena, the new $20M indoor football practice facility is in the design phase. Construction will be complete by December 2017.

The new ~$5M baseball practice facility/clubhouse will break ground in a few weeks. And the $2M outdoor track renovation will be finished soon.

I believe Tulsa recently renovated "The John". AKA the freshman male dorm.

With a name like that I can only imagine the smell of the place.

You're not that far off.

My roommate plans to build a coogar themed computer desk/toilet combo. He hopes this will keep him from having to take study breaks to use the bathroom.

The project has an estimated cost of $2k and is breaking ground tomorrow with an expected completion date of whenever he gets to it. Its also fully funded by his private donor.

We just finished the leadership dev center. We are also getting ready to redo the weight room and locker room for basketball. The new on campus hotel and a bunch of academic projects. Library renovation Ucf downtown campus engineering expansion etc.....

This is our 10 year plan. http://today.ucf.edu/staying-on-offense-...-projects/ 70 million worth of enhancements. This was approved by the BOD in 2010. I believe tennis was next.

Yes they do. I had to step back, i thought i was at mississippi state. Exact same pizzers.

If we're doing everything else, we're building a $200M library which will be the centerpiece of our first quad.

Old Moody had very unique urinals...they weren't floor to waist, they were wall-mounted but they were vintage 1956. Never saw anything like them anywhere else
