[Q]Just a bit down the hill from Bailey Hall, there are designs for an estimated $125 million new physical sciences building to replace the circle and parking between Baker, Clark and Rockefeller Halls. Part of the New Life Sciences Initiative, the space will be designated for the chemistry, chemical biology and physics departments in arts and sciences and applied and engineering physics in engineering.[/Q][/quote]

Yeah, and if you've seen the plans that will be a monstrosity in itself. It is going to be a modern looking building (the outside looks a lot like duffield) stuffed between Rockefeller Baker and Clark.

[quote RichH][quote krose]As for parking, Cornell should solicit donations for a huge new, 5,000-spot parking garage right in front of Clark Hall.  It would have the dual positive impact of hiding Clark Hall from the rest of campus and providing central campus parking to whomever wanted it.  I'd donate to that.

From that article "Traffic patterns will change in that cars and buses will be able to go around Bailey Hall as opposed to through it."  Through it?  ::uhoh:: Perhaps that should read Bailey Plaza.

I've read about them, I've read comments about them ... but I have not seen the actual plans or drawings. Who has? I'm still having trouble figuring how this is going to be a one-story structure on the south side yet have team dressing rooms there given that the ice surface is well below grade level on the south side. Either it's going to be a long sloping walk up, or the dressing rooms are underneath the one story that is above ground.

As I've heard it described there will be a staircase from the locker rooms down to a tunnel at ice level.  Seems strange to me, but if I can climb stairs in skates I'm sure players who were all but born on skates can do it even more easily.

Your story sounds reminiscent of the legend of Uris Hall's rust, which was supposed to turn appealing colors rather than just ... rusty.[/quote]That's a true one: http://ezra.cornell.edu/posting.php?timestamp=1135659600#question1[/quote]

*sigh*

Uncle Ezra asked the same people that run the tour guides, who have shown remarkable stubbornness in adhering to this myth.

Cor-Ten steel isn't supposed to turn pretty colors. It's supposed to rust. The idea is then that the rust doesn't flake off, so the structure doesn't weaken. Cor-Ten is US Steel's trademarked name; the generic name is "weathering steel."

The USX Tower in Pittsbugh, the Time-Life Building in Chicago, and the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia are all made of Cor-Ten steel, and none are even remotely "bluish yellow."

Oh, no... please tell me this is wrong.  Walking up and down stairs in skates *sucks*.  Especially after you've been busting your ass for 30 minutes.

Ugggg... I tell you, they are going to regret this...

Well, if we don't see a big hole being dug in April then we know there'll have to be steps or else a long ramp taking up a lot of space.

Maybe they'll just put in a huge elevator.  Or how about escalators?

I can just imagine it.

Schafer: "Guys, we're putting DiLeo in because the elevator got stuck with Dave in it."

Or how about escalators?

I can come up with even more gruesome stuff for this.  ::yark::

How about they slide down a firepole at the start of the period?  (Complete with annoying bush league fire-engine siren.)

Hmm.  Well, I suppose if the home lockers were at ice level and visitors were one step down... ;-)

Will it have Duffield's devil horns?  That place looks creepy at twilight and on any other weird-light day because of the odd way its smokestacks (?) catch the light and glow.
