That was the original plan before the larger purchase. There was to be a "capstone" building, about 5 stories, at the end of the quad where the paved parking lot is inside the loop. There was a bridge connecting LSB to it and another connection from the new building to B&E. I haven't seen anything about a direct connection from LSB to B&E.

Also, I found this, from November 2013. Sort of an updated site plan, with more detail:



I'd love to know if they've made any progress. Has anyone emailed Rob or Phoenicia?

That is awesome. Please share what Rob or Phoenicia says when you get a response.

They're admins with WVU Facilities Services. I'll email Rob and see if there's been any headway.

I received a response from Phoenicia:

Right now we have selected an Architect, but no further development has been made since the original concepts. We hope to have some additional concepts in Fall 2015.

Thanks for that. Sounds exciting whatever they are doing!

That will be outstanding. Thanks for the update!

Anyone know who won the bid for the Hotel and Conference Center?

[CTMountaineer]

I was told the evaluation for that decision will take place this month, by someone fairly close to the situation. I would anticipate something within 2 or 3 weeks.

Any news about this yet? I would LOVE to see this happen ASAP! It is embarrassing to take friends from out of town through the loop currently. It's horrendous!

If I was Gee, this would be priority. It doesn't seem like solidifying a cohesive downtown campus for convenience or aesthetics is a priority . WVU is more in the business of student rentals and parking tickets.
