GMU: Where Construction is Tradition

[Pikapppatri8]

Thank god. The campus core needed more green space.

They are also turning the areas that had the Apartments into green space

There was plenty of shrubbery when I lived in the apartments.

You guys had apartments!!??

When did you got to Mason? Have you been there recently?

 

[gmutom]

I lived in the dorms my freshman year and moved to the apartments for my last three years. My son was accepted into the Honors College this fall, so we did the whole campus tour recently. Crazy how much has changed.

'75. Only been to the Patriot Center. Haven't walked the campus since graduation in '79. Looks like I really should take a tour.

You have to see the new dorms. My oldest graduates this Spring and he has had condo like dorms.

They had just started building Robinson 2 when I was graduating.

 

[The Great PATSby]

Was on campus earlier this week. Robinson B looks like a war zone.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Robinson B is almost all gone now. Check out the webcam.

Robinson was kind of beat down in the 80s. Hate to see what shape it was in 30 years later

 

[He15man]

yeah, when i was there in the late 90s the Robinson building looked tired and really beat down. It's about time the school replaced it with something more modern looking. I haven't walked around the campus in a long time; I'd probably barely recognize half of it.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Robinson B is officially gone "en toto".

Total area cleared.
