No, that's a load of crap. Go back and re-read the posts in this thread alone. Plenty of people are trying to take credit for predicting on-time construction.
As I stated, I have watched every single on-campus construction project at UM since 1986. They have all gone over-budget and over-time. Every single one. The consistent issue in all of that has been the City of Coral Gables (and, to a lesser extent, the South Florida construction industry).
So, yes, it will be surprising and unprecedented for Coral Gables to allow partial occupancy of the facility. That's simply a fact, that the city has not done this for UM in the past. I can cite numerous examples.
****, when I moved into Eaton, they were still doing renovation work on the rooms. However, there was nothing structural that was being changed, they simply had not installed the cable boxes and brackets on the walls. Yes, it was 1986, and the building was not previously wired for cable.
If Coral Gables is becoming more pragmatic, that would be very nice. But I'll believe it when I see it. Even the original reporting on this issue left a major "out" for the possibility that the occupancy certificate will not be available by the beginning of the school year.
