bobruss Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Thanks for all the updates Hindesky. The new law school is such an improvement, and I like that its closer to the other buildings. I also noticed that they have cut a diagonal off the med school to the corner of MLK and OST to the train. They've already put in the sidewalk and lighting. I hated to see that area developed but it sure does look nice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted July 23 Popular Post Share Posted July 23 (edited) Construction fencing is down and road open. Looks nice, I wonder if the interior is ready for students this fall semester? The Hilton expansion has cool glass. Law School is almost ready, alumni have been touring the building. Continuation of MLK Blvd seems to just go to the parking lot. Public art, it changes colors depending on the angle you look at it.

Anyway, you're doing an amazing job@hindesky. It's always a good time looking through your post and seeing how the city is changing. While I'm going to miss the ever legendary food hole (The Satellite), the food tower (The Hub) will be a great and welcome addition to UH. It's amazing how much UH has changed in the past year, I probably won't recognize it in the next half decade. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I started at UH (09) my optometrist told me not to get too attached to campus because every year at least one building will come down, two will go up, and by the time I graduate, the whole place will look completely different. He was quite correct. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
