your campus is beautiful. it has that eastern European ambiance that many other colleges just dream about.

I got misty eyed for a moment. I saw my old dorm gulag. I got an instant craving for bread and water.
Awww memories.

Well, those would have to be, since they're not built yet.

eta: what's the indian mounds? I've seen them mentioned on the OT before and see the pics in the OP. What is the story there?
quote:
The LSU Campus Mounds or LSU Indian Mounds are two Native American mounds, of the Archaic Period, on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They are part of a larger, statewide system of mounds. They were probably used for "ceremonial and marking point purposes," rather than for burial purposes. The 20 feet (6.1 m) tall mounds are thought to be more than 5,000 years old. That date would make them part of the oldest mound system in North America, Mesoamerica or South America and also means they predate the building of the Great Pyramids of Egypt
quote:
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A part of a complex of eight mounds throughout Louisiana that date back more than 5,000 years to the Meso-Indian or Archaic period

As far as my fave pics of the LSU campus, I always like to show the Enchanted Forest...
...the new Bookstore...
the new Chemistry Building...
...and the Residential College dorms. This one is for Engineering students...
...The Louisiana Digital Media Center and Louisiana Emerging Technologies Center....
...a new Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory...
...a new Animal and Food Science Lab building...
...the new Tennis Center...
...the LSU lakes as they look now...
..and what the future holds...
...and the Nicholson Gateway Project...

I spent 10 minutes before opening this thread collecting russian brutalism images on Google to make that exact joke. Dammit.
Some of those shots would fit in well with a few of our buildings. I'm thinking of the Art building which while award winning is in desperate need of a power washing so it doesn't look so Soviet/East German.
In all seriousness, when you're founded in 1794 (we old) AND your campus was the ground zero for a Civil War battle it kinda messes with the architecture. Things were blown to bits or had to be razed.
We have some old buildings that I love, particularly on the Hill and across Cumberland Avenue hidden away from most who visit campus. BUT our architecture after that runs the gambit of seemingly every era and is in general as hodgepodge as it gets.
I may be one of the few but I adore the lego building aka Hodges Library. It's awesome on the inside and I mean everything else aside how can you not love a library that has a Centaur skeleton on display asking you 'Do you believe?' and it also looks great lit up at night. And for me, during the day.
All and although, our campus shows that it was rebuilt and then expand during very different times (some of them cutting edge at the time but baaaaad). I have to say though that lately it's gotten tons better.

LSU was never broke. The governor kept playing games with state money to fulfill his "No New Taxes" pledge.
The next governor will be very, very different.
We weren't broke, we aren't broke, and we won't be broke. As far as the "new shite", you ain't seen nothing yet.

Perception is reality in the eyes of the ignorant masses. So, uh, change the perception with the quickness

I get what your saying. The next big building spree will help erase that notion.

Oh, and no thread about the LSU campus would be complete without these pics...

aye lad. as one ages and gets wiser it becomes very discouraging to see your premise grow even more evident. the politicians are the puppet masters and the ignorant masses just lap their spins up.
I guess it's time for a toddie before I become depressed.

One of our better things is the UT boathouse for our wimmenz:
Older look
Newer (they've restained it vbut I liked the lighter wood stain best even though the first pic doesn't do it justice). Post staining again:
River side:
The boathouse also has a restaurant and is the main docking point for the Vol Navy. It helps them form a real flotilla of sorts and they tie off to one another there.

The Boltron pics really took me back haha. If a picture of Sandra's face (from Snelling) popped up, I might have shed a tear.
