I don't see the armory on this Master Plan image. Anyone hear about this? Very lame if true.
Is ISU going to tear down the Armory?

And the Student Services building south of Pearson looks to be replaced. That sucks, please don't tear down an visually interesting older brick building with character and replace it with some boring uninspired crap.
Looks like the Design Building is going to get an enormous addition. Bet it won't be called the Design Building any longer after that's done.
That would be a shame. When they try to tear down Ross I will make VEISHA look like a 31 Party.
Meanwhile, looks like Town Engineering will remain the crappiest building on campus.
Nice.New name idea: Redesign Building
Reminds me of a girl I worked with who broke up with a guy named Peter and then started dating another guy by the same name. She referred to them as Pete and Repeat.
From that article: "Campus planner Chris Strawhacker, facilities planning and management, who led the team that developed the plan, said two other goals of the strategic facilities plan are to:
Reduce Iowa State's deferred maintenance backlog, currently at about $600 million."
I guess removing buildings with deferred maintenance is one way to reduce that amount.

would be neat for them to renovate it, have vb, gymnastics, and wrestling meets there....would be the perfect size for those sports
It's perfect. Civil engineer's wet dream. Square box with few windows.

LOL....let's get a "GoFundMe" to be lead donor so we can dictate that.
I used to joke it'd be funny if you won a HUGE lottery to start gifting money with those types of requirements "You heard me...I'll donate 30 million...but i want it called "Beard-Shear""
"but that will be confusing"
"Exactly!"
Actually, I think the plan is to move it to Main Street and rename it Downtown Engineering.
And have it off the universities books and onto the athletic departments.
I'm so happy that Mackay is getting renovated in a few years....as a human sciences alum, it needs it bad...although the main lecture hall in Mackay is one of the best on campus even though I'm biased
Also the Old Landscape Architecture building. I hope they're just adding onto it and renovating it..... It's a pretty neat old building with it's cupula. It's cool to have buildings of all different styles and sizes.
Basically I hate change lol. I really hate looking at old pictures of campus and seeing cool old buildings we've demolished or otherwise lost.

I guess I was never in Town, but I spent a lot of time in Science 1 and it was a real **** hole. Not surprised the plan is to tear it down.
