    I'm with Coco.
Considering how awesomely elite the Arch. program is, it's a wonder our University doesn't milk more free consulting work from it.  Like, our athletic facilities, for instance.  

I'm sure somebody from the Seaton thinktank could conjure up some cool designs.  Instead of retaining the drunkard primate that designed the Vanier expansion, maybe keep that sh*t inhouse.  Just see what you get.  

Due to some messed up State legislation, the University has to hire a firm in the state of Kansas that has nobody currently employed with the University if they want to receive state funds.

FFF- I'm working on 2 regional airports at the moment. Nothing too fancy, but you get really special attention when they fly you out there (skip security, free meals, etc).

belvis: HOK Sports is choc full o'emaw, and they have designed almost every major stadium in the world since Camden Yards, and yes, they work on KSU stuff all the time.

Yeah.  I know people at Populous (formerly HOK Sport).  They're working with KSU on the bball practice facility.  Hopefully they do the westside work at BSFS someday.

I just looked it up in the dictionary. That, my friend, is the definition of Elite.
I walk out of that tunnel in this building and the passion of our fans, just gets me going. I mean just gives me an adrenaline rush that you guys just don't understand. - Frank Martin

I mentioned this elite insider info in another thread, but thought it more relevant here:

Little architectural factoid about the current uk football complex:
Mark Mangino's office toilet is the ONLY floor standing toilet in the entire complex.  All others are wall hung; because they are designed within avg human weight tolerances.

Rumor: :peek:
An Ell Roberson #3 home jersey was buried beneath floor slab where the carpet jayhawk resides in the center of the mens locker room.

Funny, I thought this was a football thread...
I'd much rather have a 69 year old coach than one that weighs 400+ pounds.

Hmmm.  The title of the thread would clearly indicate otherwise.

    The very best.
would pay 30-40 bucks to simply walk w/an elite archi student across bosco plaza center. would really knock the socks off of my peers.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.
