Official Construction Update Thread

Really need one of the cams to be focused on the construction happening behind the NE stands.

But we are seeing some walls going up in the IPF area now from the other cam.

Yep the shockcrete is slowly going up as they dig further down. We should see them hit bottom soon and then things should move pretty quick as far as getting slabs in for the parking garage.
 
not much digging left, looks like. Good stuff. This cam should get more interesting pretty quick. The other one too as the building gets higher than the new seats.

Without seeing the new plans that include the parking garage it is hard to tell. The original plans looked to go about this deep for the IPF, so I would imagine the parking garage would mean they have further to go. Not sure.

It's hard to tell for sure, but to my eye they look to be about 10-15 feet below grade with the current dig.

Wow.

I knew that the new seats were going to have some better views, but I never fully appreciated the type of views you get from over there until seeing it become a reality.

Those seats and the views from the offices/lounges in the NE complex will be hard for any recruit to pass up.
 
Ok, I know I have seen photos of this somewhere, but now I cannot find it. There was an updated deisgn pdf/presentation that had a section cut through the IPF showing how it fit on that hill... Tried finding it in the Facilities Plan thread but couldn't. Anyone know which one I am talking about?
 
This one?

weird... why not build it up another level then do the actual practice facility floor so it's flush with the ground?

It has to do with working with the weird hill on the north side, and the desire to keep the practice facility from intefering with the look of the East Press Box as you approach campus.

The packet that drawing came from has a view from folsom looking south at the stadium/IPF it looks good. Makes it a bit easier to understand

There's some interesting discussion of some of the detail, 'Buff Walk' etc. in the attached.http://www.cu.edu/sites/default/files/March_2014_DRB Special_Mtg_Minutes.pdf

Yep he is also discussing a proposed re development of the CU campus that is north of the creek, ie Family Housing. CU put out a Request for proposal a while ago for a master plan for the site. Not sure what came of it.

Also in there is probably some more clarification as to why the field level for the IPF is dropped down some. There was apparently a "need" expressed to have the IPF field and the weight room be at the exact same elevation of the football field.
