Say goodbye to Fouts

[Salsa_Verde]

They want to put a bus transfer center there as well. At least that’s what I read, they may have changed that.

Are there 3 or 4 reliefs on each side?  Those should installed be on either the exterior of Apogee(some strategic location), or inside of Apogee.  Preferably embedded along the interior brick wall around the playing field.

Does anyone know the exact date of when the demolition will begin?

[UNTLifer]

Somebody asked on Twitter if they were selling bricks from Fouts.  I had to remind him that it would be difficult since there isn't a brick to be had there.  I would like a section of goal post.

How much for a Fouts waterless urinal and how do I get it installed in my kitchen? 

[Matt from A700]

Happy for the extra parking. 1,200 will be a huge boost. Stay away from my New York Sub Hub!

I did a bit of research and found the master plan for the Fouts area in the 2013 master plan located here: https://www.untsystem.edu/sites/default/files/unt_denton_master_plan_2013.pdf 

Since I know most will not read an 180 page plan I put together a quick labeled photo for your convenience:

Take those trough urinals and turn them into a hot tub or ice bathtub for the visitors locker room.

I suspect a lot has changed in that plan in 5 years.

Waterless urinals are being sold to NutsaK where they will be painted O.D., mounted on wheeled wooden tracks and passed off as a battery of canons.

[trud1966]

When we finally got approval to build Apogee, I went out and took photos of the reliefs, and framed them.  Knew that might not ever see them again. 

[meaniegreenie]

Wow!  Great idea and I like the framing choice.

[UNTLifer]

Wasn't there an Opera House planned for that area at one time?

They needed them to be waterless.  The water will instead shoot out of a box when they are flushed.

The parking garage is not going to happen, but the transit center will.

Yep. We’re about to start another Master Plan update process.

2005 plan.

Not a true opera house, but a music-dedicated performance space with the right metrics of theatre-style rigging will be coming to the middle of campus to accommodate both opera and jazz studies stuff.

More of an "Opera Cabin"

My understanding is that the parking garage is just being moved off the short/mid term goals.  They still will keep it on the master plan. 

They just need spaces NOW, because they are hoping to get funding for two new science classroom/lab buildings (where the giant Eagle parking lot in front of EESAT now sits) in this next session.

UNT needs more NEW, MODERN dorms worse than anything else.  Maybe worse than the need to widen Bonnie Brea and parking?

When my oldest enrolls in 2029, I fully expect Clark Hall to look exactly the same as when I was there in 2000!

EDIT:   And Bonnie Brae will still be 2 lanes, because Denton infrastructure projects.
