Building Information
Odd, the University doesn’t list the Olsen Building as an open air facility, and yet I’m looking at it right now!
I am curious, for anyone in the construction or commercial property field, what would be a ballpark range to aesthetically enclose the scoreboard supports. Lower end I'd think would be something that matched the look of the cardinal on the retaining wall or black on the upper part of the scoreboard and upper end would be the limestone colored panels on the performance center & north side walkway.
They had them in earlier, but they cracked. The VB staff posted some pics from inside and there were a couple of panes with tape on them that were cracked. I would guess that they won't replace those pieces of plywood until the weather warms up and there's no more chance of settling.
Depends on if you are talking direct revenue or not. The SPC isn't revenue producing. But, if it helps with recruiting, that means better teams, more ticket sales, more donations. The Hilton renovations improve the fan experience and could also affect recruiting. That project could end up helping the bottom line. The projects that have very little chance of affecting revenue are facilities for Olympic sports...and a majority of those projects are already done. Really, only Wrestling and Swimming and Diving are the only programs without major facility upgrades in the last 10 years.
Obviously, the only real direct revenue producing upgrades are expanding/new venues (for revenue sports) and luxury areas.
It has nothing to do with settling. They will wait until they know what all their needs are for breakage and attic stock. Lots of little orders means lots of $$$
Why did they break in the first place then? Obviously, they weren't planning on it happening.
I know they are functional and it doesn't really matter when the stadium is full, but I wish they would replace all the old seating. It is very faded. It would be nice if it matched the brightness of our school colors.
If the seats are in good condition, I'm sure there are paints out there to spruce them up.
I wish they would move it down a little more. I can still see the standing parts of the Olsen Building that I thought should have been torn down earlier in the week based on the progress we saw. If I can't see it, I won't be so concerned with why they are still there...
It really shows how elevated and "bowled" the hillsides will look/feel when you see this camera angle. The concrete sides are SIGNIFICANTLY higher than the walkway next to the Jake
If the guys from Oak Island were on here, it would be obvious that the treasure is in what is left of the Olsen Building.
Tempering or heat treating is not the problem, it is set up and lead time for coating. You can get tempered units in a few days.
