Fieldhouse/Athletic Ctr. Progress

[catstime16]

For those of us not in the Chicagoland area is their any progress or earth
being moved/groomed on this project? I assume this is 2 years from completion
with a "move in" of 2018? Thanks in advance for those in the know and able
to enlighten.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've been by the site. The prep work is definitely happening. I don't think they've started digging out the site yet, at least not in a major way. I wonder how they'll do it given the proximity to the lake. I'll have to go by there again in the near future. Nice weather would help make that happen.

I was out there over the weekend, there is a lot of heavy equipment out there.
There is also the new dorm going up next to Kemper.
I will try to take pictures next time.

They are constructing an ersatz edifice to lure recruits and well-heeled alums into thinking they are actually building something real.

Call it the Rockridge lakeside training facility.

Ersatz is an excellent and underutilized term.

You mean the Fake by the Lake? Call it for what it is.

Anybody have anything in regards to construction happenings on the lakefront?

 

[Hungry Jack]

Nothing on the web. If I can get out early and ride on Sunday, I will stop and get some pics.

I wonder if Turk is buried in the foundation, like Jimmy Hoffa at the Meadowlands.........

The other day I saw a coyote chasing a roadrunner into the Acme Construction site. ...

Took a peek at the site today during my morning ride. Not much to report beyond the observation that the site is cleared and prepped. No footings poured or obvious staging that I could tell.

But heck, I barely recognize the lake fill anymore with all the buildings that have gone up. The spot where I once did vulva research is gone. It's a bit easier to ride through the south end now that the construction down there is done.

I thought all vulva research was done at the south end.

That's funny. Word has it that the front facade will be supported by five caryatids in the form of Turk.

 

[ubercat]

That would be a mistake.
