Good ****. But yeah based on this timeline, the freshman will likely move into MP or Eaton I guess while the towers are replaced. And the upperclassman will get the new housing and the UV. Surprised they are renovating Eaton before they choose to renovate MP though. Isn't it newer? Looks like it requires less than MP.

The dorms were ****, much needed upgrade

Yup. Couldn't wait to move off-campus after freshman year.

Definitely had some good "memories" from living there though

 

[Ispyin]

That's not correct. It's in Eaton Parking lot..

they do plan to get get rid of the 4 towers ideally, but this isn't that.

All I know is this and an IPF are the closet we'll get leverage with recruiting. We all know on campus stadium is s pipe dream but that is the only excuse a school will have when recruiting against us. Major win.

Those Dorms look awesome.

Those Dorms look awesome.

All I see is some ****** generic looking modern architecture high rises. But dorms are primarily about what the rooms look like, and unless I'm missing something, they don't show that in these pics. So tentatively, I'm giving them an F but subject to revision once we see the inside. Current dorms get a D-.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

That video doesn't do a great job of explaining the layout.

ALL the old dorms will be knocked down and this will go up in its place on the lake directly across from the new student activities center.

Wrong side of the lake, sir. These will be bordered by Ponce de Leon on one side, the Pavia garages on one side, the BUC and Eaton on one side, and the lake on the fourth side.

The would be to the left of your photo, and much closer to the foreground.

What would you like them to look like? Medieval castles? Mid-century bungalows? This is what **** looks like now and it's therefore the **** kids like. And on what planet can you grade new dorms, any new dorms as worse than the old ones? I'm tentatively giving you a D+ because your grammar is pretty good, but I may reevaluate after your angry response.

Eaton is the oldest dorm on campus. I lived there for 3 years after they renovated for the first time in the 1980s.

Roof top putting greens are a nice touch for the golf team

I love the design by Architectonica, one the top Miami firms with a worldwide reputation. On Brickell, they did the famous condo with the square red hole in the middle featured in Miami Vice as well as the passenger cruise terminals in the Miami harbor.

Top features for me: non identical geometric shaped buildings pieced together in a village like plan; grass roof for coolness and non glare surface; ground floor is open space under each building providing shade and breeze ways across the whole area; buildings are supported by thin white columns at varying angles that "lighten" their impact at ground level.

Agree that the interiors will be key. Hope they feature living rooms, kitchenettes and varying sizes of 1,2 or 3 bedroom units. Two beds, dressers and desks in a rectangle just doesn't make it anymore.

Woah, That was pretty deep.

 

[omaha]

That would funny if they set up the roofs as a golf course. Chipping and putting greens. How are they going to get mowers up there? Or is this field turf they are using?

part of freshman hazing will be trimming by hand with tiny scissors

That's not correct. It's in Eaton Parking lot..

Here's the Miami Herald article from January, complete with 3 thumbnail pics that include one showing where the new dorms will be in relation to the Student Activities Center.

This actually surprises me, but I'm also not surprised at all since I've literally never been in Eaton before. It's like the black sheep of housing on campus.

Eaton is full of weirdo walking paradoxes. Like, what music major wants to live on a quiet floor?

Hecht for life. Just knock over Stanford since they suck at Sportsfest.
