TCU Construction Updates

Now with the potential for a new NCAA cfb game coming out next year (hopefully), they can throw in our newly renovated east side as well, which will be gobbled up by every cfb fan who plays video games out there

It seems like they spent a bunch of time and money renovating the east side. I’m not quite sure why they made it edible for CFB fans. Do I need to start playing video games in order to get a taste?

Was I supposed to type something here?

Yeah! You'd think that with that schedule, at those prices, they'd find a more suitable construction materiel than Gingerbread!

HGC bought it and tore it down with the anticipation of building "condos". About a year prior the neighborhood shored up an issue with zoning when some ah put a stealth dorm on Rodgers. The neighborhood pushed back on the "condos", so now the area has been broken up for sale as 4 individual lots. This is my understanding in talking to UWest representatives.
Thanks.

Ugly. The architect must have been Albert Speer...
True story: while I was serving in Europe 97 to 2000 I was temporarily stationed in Stuttgart Germany. In the suburb of Stuttgart is the suburb of Vaihingen, where one of the old post World War II army barracks still is. A fellow officer I was serving with there told me once that they wanted to install an additional telephone line into an office that did not previously have one. In order to do so per Army regulation you had to go dig up the original blueprints of the building before doing any kind of modification. When the young officer went to the civil engineers building to dig up the blueprints he noted in the bottom corner that the building had been designed and constructed in accordance with the orders of Albert Speer.

Since we are still bereft of sports could we get an update on all current construction projects on campus? I walked past the music building a few days ago and noticed the groundskeepers were working on sprinklers which I assume is one of the last things to be done before grass is installed? Also is worth hills completely done? And is there any update on when East side club will be totally completely done done?

Haven’t been on this thread in a while so sorry if already covered, but ate at Dutch’s yesterday and was surprised to see the Hyatt Place building framework basically completed except for the exterior /interior finish. Bad timing for them but a much needed addition IMO.

That revolting orange/pink colored exterior is slowly being covered with a nice TCU brick cover, looks so much better. But I've been told that there's so much interior work to do that the opening couldn't possibly be before any possible football season begins (if there ever is one). Maybe by the time they finish construction the crisis will be over, you think?

yea didn’t really inspect but just looks like frame and weather wrap at this point. I am sure they are nowhere near done. Maybe they could open the roof bar early.
