GMU: Where Construction is Tradition

Now, now. Should you be fortunate enough to live long enough to become an old fart, your perspective may change.

I was at Mason when the old farts whined about the video board being too bright on Braddock. If I end up yelling at cloud, I hope the kids put me in the curmudgeon village.

I love the renovations to Harris Theater - favorite classroom on campus

So looks like the RAC addition is still in the works. Surprised it is still in the “must be approved” stage since it was announced years ago.

I saw the zoom meeting and in the master plan they said they would build a rec center where the old student apartments were. The presentation focused a lot on trying make campus less commuterish and more lively, they also said they were gonna knock down the 4 original buildings so that it would create like a quad or lawn

Does anyone else find it ironic that you are knocking down 4 buildings to build a quad?

Also I saw on one of the master plans that they want to tear down David King hall and build a new one that is more aligned with the newer part of Planetary and tear down the old front part of Planetary to make that green space wider

Not 100% sure if this just hasn't been removed from the project list or what the plan is. If I recall I think there was evaluation going on in regards to whether to add onto EBA or do the RAC addition. I think the master plan was supposed to help decide.

I haven't spoken to anyone in a while on the topic but if I do, I'll definitely bring it up.

Unless you are building a bigger quad

That's pretty much what it looked like my freshman year. Although I believe they had started building the PatDome at that point.

I'm assuming that's some sort of circular sidewalk in the pic, albeit not yellow.

Meditation garden - they haven't finished putting in all the trees, shrubs, annuals, etc

Ah, I see. At my age, though, walking that thing might make me too dizzy to do anything but fall down. For me, the best meditation is a nap.
