Any new updates on the construction? Is the new union open yet? I swung through campus a few weeks ago and saw the backside of the union construction site. They're still working on it. Thanks Dooms. OSA, I can’t wait to see that bad boy either!

Stopped through campus briefly yesterday. It’s incredible.
I only went as far as the new bookstore but I’m amazed at all the new interspersed with the old.

I stopped in while in town today. Its a nice facility, from what little I saw - I didn't have a whole lot of time. However, I didn't realize that its massive size would mean losing one of the Quad's iconic mainstays. It ate the fountain and its bordering trees!

I think you're mistaken about that. The last time I went there I didn't go on that side but I looked through the window and thought I saw it.
The time before that I walked on that side and saw plainly where they'd sectioned off where the wall would be. I walked around the pool with my kids and it was still a decent distance away from the building.

I went there 3 weeks ago. I was INCREDIBLY impressed and proud! My late old man was the first director of the old Student Union Building...he’d love it.
Sad to see the fountain was gone, but that’s understandable.

So it is gone? Dang, they did some quick work extending the building that far. When I was on the quad side it was during the track and field events over the summer.

The area where the fountain was located is covered with grass and some new sidewalks. I think the new look is great.

The fountain needed some repairs so they decided to just remove it for the time being and fill that area in with grass.
Perkins said they might bring it back later with a new design.
