wow

 

[Adios]

Very nice. Hopefully, one day we'll be able to entice 4 and 5 star recruits. We need more money.

Do you have to go to class also?

Just curious. Shenkman is 85,000 sq ft; the MSU facility is 80,000. Shenkman strength and conditioning facility is 18,000 sq ft; the MSU Rouse strength and conditioning area is 12,000 sq ft. If the MSU facility is worth oo-ing and aw-ing about, should we be doing the same for UConn's?

I haven't been inside Shenkman. Maybe what we need is a nice slide show / online tour. Something better than http://www.uconnhuskies.com/school-bio/strength-conditioning-shenkman.html.

yup we need a way better video for it. im sure the fball program has 1 that recruits get(well i hope so) but its more about pumping it to the masses. just another uconn media/pr fail...

heres a great HINT for uconn, when u have only a couple pics on a website u suck, but whats ever frucking worse is one of those pics has flag football for students going on. you have to be so far uneducated in college football to think that pic is a good idea for pumping recruits your facilities. its unreal stuff like this that drives me nuts. soon as i see that, no matter what u want to tell me, i know as a recruit that the facility is overused/booked. next. just unreal how small time uconn is. there are a million things like this that help prevent us from ever doig anything special. hell remember the RE pics everywhere after he left...

We don't use enough brickwork. Just an opinion. Brickwork seems to work wonders in looking majestic. Our architectural designs, including Gampel, seem to be explicitly post-modern.

 

[Bezzz]

Not to rain on anybody's parade, but as an architect with 36 years experience, that building is really clunky looking. It's caught halfway between classicism and modernism in a post-modern nightmare of gargantuan proportions.

Ha ha nevermind.

I agree they are pretty simple looking from the exterior and could have been more dynamic. They have an interesting geometry but the execution lacks detail. The interiors are great.

It's a converted Barnes and Noble, what do you expect?

Sorry, I deleted the post. Didn't think you'd respond. Thank you for sharing your perspective. I definitely do think they are well designed on the interiors too.

(To anyone who cares, I was asking for his opinion on what he thinks of UConn's facilities.)

Meet the planned Southern Mississippi football training center:

[Palatine]

About the same as the Burton.

 

[RMS25CT]

About the same as the Burton.

I agree. For anyone that has not been inside the Burton/Shchenkman facility it is pretty comparable.
