Thank you so much. I have seen the open air theater before but didn't know we have a new building for theater as well. Looks nice. One quick thought about the museum, i like the design on the side that faces Hampton Blvd but the other two longer sides look too bare and like the sides of a ware house. May be they will add something to them to make it look better. All the pictures look great and thank you for all the photos.

Odds are they are going to hang banners and/or advertisements for temporary art installations.

Yeah anything to make it look occupied would be better. I would like to see what is going on with Computational Sciences building and the tiny garden like setting behind it. If one of you guys can take a photo when ever you there next time that would be greatly appreciated. We used to have cook outs and i used to go relax there when ever i felt like punching my server.

One of the featured pieces at the Barry Art Museum has an interesting backstory;

900 pounds of glass sounds dangerous and beautiful at the same time. Can't wait to take a look at it in person.

Then you may find the chandelier to be similarly dangerous/beautiful.

It did and looks fantastic. Looks like this is going to a stop for opposing fan bases when come to town.

You can see some show lights pointing back at the top half of the building. I would be willing to bet that there will be something there at some point

It's a shame it's next to a McDs.

Snagged a clip of the new chemistry building. Looks good!

Where is the new chemistry building going to be built?

Green area right outside of the outfield of the baseball stadium, and the adjacent parking lot I believe.

That parking lot is going away but yes it is behind the baseball stadium along Elkhorn.

Thanks. I hope the side facing the stadium is eye pleasing. That is a very tight space. Hemmed in.

It is a interesting site but I think it will end up being pretty cool. Hopefully some kind of curved glass on the side facing the baseball stadium.

You think? Or are they going to tear down the Old Education Building (now Monarch Hall)? I think the were saving that land for more research facilities according to the master plan. Also with the new child study center being done, I think they will tear down the old one that is next to BAL. That is a prime lot for a nice new building.
