How long does it take to build parking garages, bc shouldn't they begin contruction soon?


The first high rise parking garage on campus is set to open early in 2012. It'll be across from the Union, in place of the old Highland Dining Hall.

LSU is expected to begin construction on its first parking garage by the beginning of February, university officials said. The 750-car, five-floor parking facility will be built on Raphael Semmes Road by Highland Road across the street from the LSU Student Union in the middle of campus.

We were talking about this same subject in this thread:

LSU may switch to field turf to accomidate stadium expansion, what will Les do?

And I posted I believed that any future expansion in Tiger Stadium's South End Zone would look more like what North Carolina is building:



..and end up being more of a clubhouse featuring new endzone suites. LSU will look to maximize it's dollars here, by catering to the demand for luxury suites. Remember, suites are paid for on a yearly basis whether they are used or not, unlike regular stadium seating.

As it is, Tiger Stadium suites rarely come on the market. And the waiting list is several years long. In fact, no one has let their lease expire on a Tiger Stadium suite since 2000.




BTW that is the proposed renovations to UNC's Kenan Memorial Stadium. Notice the open patios to either side of the main structure.
