FSU Quarterly Update


Interesting update.

Love the new research building, the new Earth Science building as well.

Great to see the old dorms getting torn down and new ones replacing them...huge improvement.

UGLY entry way at civic center (picture at bottom)....come on FSU, don't do this.




FSU Quarterly Update


"FSU just posted their most recent Quarterly (although they seem to happen more tri-annually) construction update:

https://www.facilities.fsu.edu/depts/de ... eeting.pdf

Of note:
-There is a rendering of the EOAS dept building for the corner of Woodward and Tennessee that should make for a nice gateway building.
-It lists Kellum hall as scheduled for demolition (now if they could just add Smith Rogers and McCollum) in addition to dorman and deviney in preparation for phase II of the dorm replacement.
-Also a part of the dorm replacement will be a new dining corridor (possibly called "the stable"? According to a rendering)
-What appears to be a mock up of the IRCB building for the SW campus
-A new building for the marine lab located, I think, at alligator point
-Keen plaza redevelopment (construction underway), a new plaza between Thagard and Bellamy that features a small amphitheater, a new plaza and walkways connecting the circus with the heart of campus, another between Dirac library and the Bio building, and another for the music building.
-Alumni Village looks to be almost completely demolished (no listed plans for future land use however)
-Renderings for remodeling of athlete support space for basketball and football
-A design for new signage outside the Civic Center which looks great, but it looks like they have chosen the less attractive design (IMHO) for a new proposed entry way. Just looks dated already to me.
-There are also nice amounts of construction photos and more detailed schematics posted.

All in all its 62 slides but some interesting info in there
I would love to post some of the images but there are a lot
Also according to this update:

https://www.facilities.fsu.edu/depts/de ... tsList.pdf

 some things to look forward to are a union redevelopment in multiple phases, and a new FSU/FAMU engineering building."
