Fayetteville says hi.
Fayetteville is growing, but it doesn't have any real "massive" projects happening right now. There are lots of smaller infill projects, like the Theater Squared, Lumiere independent film house, Mill District condos, the new Miles James development by the Botanical Gardens, etc.
Most of it is smaller infill projects of 3-4 stories, 1 acre or less. Which is great. We have enough 5-story student apartment buildings already. Nobody wants more.

Zoe's Kitchen
Zoe's is tasty for lunch. We got one in our Whole Foods center, but it is miles from campus.
Rumor has it that we are still on Top Golf's radar. Nothing announced yet, though.

eh. trees near CS, while pretty, are not as densely packed as the greater south. the landscape is markedly different.
not a bad thing, but most people on here are comparing theirs to yours. you can look like a desert in photos.
CS is growing pretty rapidly and yall deserve it. the school and city brings a lot of . although everything looks 21st century and stale IMO.
downtown Tuscaloosa/Oxford/Athens/Knoxville and others can have a look that stretches back to early 20th century. adds a bit of charm to everything.

Sums up Texas. Sterile. Bland. No culture. No identity.

Sure it's flat. We can't change the topography. Desert? This ain't west Texas. We got trees and grass as far as the eye can see.

That top picture, which looks like a small dorm, is a "not terrible" example of colloquial mid-century modernism that, if it were renovated and better maintained, wouldn't look too bad.
A&M has the misfortune of having built 75% of their campus in the 70s and early 80s when Brutalism reigned. There is almost no "traditional" style to mimic.

Have you seen TCU's campus? Good Lord it's ugly.

I didn't think it was ugly. Maybe most of the quaint stuff I saw was new.

Oxymoron.
The campus is littered with that atrocious light brown brick. It looks like a Russian gulag.

when me and my son were down there last year for the UT game, there were sky cranes everywhere. I told my son that when you see a sky crane, there is some money being spent.
That's the truth. I went to Israel last summer, and the difference between Palestinian and Israeli territory was marked by the presence of sky cranes. If you want to know who is doing well in an economy, look for the stuff being built. It really is almost that simple.

Buff brick doesn't have to look like shite. It just depends on the style.

Economic boom for A&M engineering
quote:
“Make no little plans.” So urged Daniel Hudson Burnham, the visionary architect who oversaw construction of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Dozens of engineering schools have lately captured his spirit, but probably none more so than Texas A&M University’s Dwight Look College of Engineering. Already home to about one in four of the university’s 66,000 students, the college aims to add some 7,000 more—25,000 by 2025—through improved retention, online graduate courses, and feeder programs. The school will add more than 250 faculty members and enlarge the physical plant by 1.1 million square feet. Under construction: the biggest building on campus, a garden-topped 525,000 square feet of glass, concrete, and irregular angles that could fit two Boeing 747s placed end to end. The Zachry Engineering Education Complex, dedicated completely to undergraduate engineering education, will house a state-of-the-art design center and “revolutionize the way we deliver education,” the school boasts. Aggies have reacted with “a perfect storm of energy and passion,” says M. Katherine Banks, engineering dean and vice chancellor. Her first million-dollar check came from students. In a Texas-size sign of support, they turned over the proceeds from their job fair. By late April, the “25-by-25” initiative had raised $250 million.

Makes me feel slightly less disdain for this comparatively tiny building addition by our cravenly modernist School of Architecture.

I'm not sure that the pictures you posted portray the narriative you are spinning. I'm not sure that the building in the top picture is there anymore, maybe it is maybe it isn't. I know it isn't a dorm: perhaps the Office of the State Chemist? So actually, you are the lying sack of shite on this thread.
The bottom two pictures show grass, trees and buildings.
We get more rain than Austin, and we certainly have more green spaces than tu and our campus isn't covered in trash and urban liberal filth like your is. So look in the mirror at your own cesspool.
