TheSirDingle Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Law Center has officially topped off. It's also 38 days ahead of schedule, I guess they're pushing for that fall 2021 opening rather than fall 2022 😆. Source: https://www.law.uh.edu/news/summer2021/0604ceremony.asp Quote The last beams were placed on the University of Houston Law Center's new state-of-the-art John M. O'Quinn Law Building during a recent "topping off" ceremony. “I am so pleased that the contractors have made so much progress in light of the pandemic,” Baynes said. “In fact, they're 38 days ahead of schedule which is absolutely amazing. We thank them for their hard work. Shepley Bulfinch served as the architecture firm for The John M. O'Quinn Law Building, and Austin Commercial is responsible for the construction of the facility. The building is expected to be open for the Fall 2022 semester. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLWn8OJpZVw&t=66s 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye, the quote says they plan to open Fall 2022. I was just joking about how fast they were going considering the 38 days ahead part. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a passionate UH Alumni and try to keep track of all things UH from my die hard sports following to building developments on campus, but I have seen nothing on what UH plans to do with the old law building once the new one is completed. While they did give them a nice addition with a radio and television studio for projects and experience, the Media and broadcasting program could use a lot more room and consolidated classroom space. Maybe that be a good use for the old law building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to its technological obsolescence, the Bate building never fully recovered from the severe flooding of Tropical Storm Allison in 2001, and more recently from Hurricanes Ike and Harvey. More than half the building is underground, exposing operational space to recurring water damage during even moderately heavy rainfall. About half of the library space is unusable because of flooding that inflicted about $40 million is losses to its collection. https://www.virtualbx.com/construction-preview/houston-uh-campaigns-for-90m-law-school-building/ 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arche_757 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I remember when the Subway reopened there at the Law School… I ate many a decent sandwich, I also remember the last time I ate there. One of the workers making the sandwiches motioned for her manager to come over, manager comes over, she motions towards the loaf of bread. The manager asks “did he see it?”. The worker answers “no he did not!” Mind you this is my sandwich! I asked “what was wrong with the bread?” They both look up at me and just stare through me with utter contempt. I asked again “was something wrong with the bread?” (I was being 100% polite, I wasn’t angry, just concerned). Again, they didn’t answer me but just continued to stare through me as if I weren’t there. They did this another two times before I decided I wouldn’t eat that loaf of bread! So I decided to play it safe and walk away, and not eat the: roach wing/rat dropping/drop of human blood/booger (who knows!)! The real kicker is the girl behind me blissfully accepted the same loaf even though she witnessed everything and even commented to me about it! A new law school building is greatly needed! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on, just how many attorneys are in here? And more specifically, people who went to UH Law Center? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, if Reddit has taught me anything it's that we attorneys are masters at efficiently wasting time on the internet while in the office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing, but I would think they would demolish it and build another parking garage since it's a money pit for constant repairs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robalob Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) I see that UH owns the warehouses south of Wholesale Electric, has there been any mention of future developments in this area? I wonder if they are waiting to buy out the Wholesale Electric property as well. Edited July 10, 2021 by robalob 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
