Jacobson Hall -- one of the original buildings on campus and home of the Visitor Center -- is getting a full renovation plus a 2-level 10,000 square foot expansion.
I was down there today and noticed the entire area between the building and Boyd (the grassy elliptical area) is completely graded and fenced off (last photo). Looks like a new plaza in front of the building as well as significant landscaping.
Really one of the most beautiful buildings in the state and it's highly visible from Campus Corner.
That last picture is one of the areas they’re talking about using for tailgating. I think part of this project will address the longstanding drainage issues of that area.
Norman has more tower cranes up than OKC. Sigh.
Then you for the pics!
That is correct. This is the primary purpose. Drainage issues have long been a problem. I think this is a part of the campus being “SEC ready” as the slogan goes. There are a number of small, but not insignificant projects occurring right now no doubt in preparation for the first football game.
I have not heard, but I hope Pete is correct that there will be some enhanced landscaping here. I agree, a gorgeous building and such a high profile lawn along Boyd.
