Here are some pics I took today of ICAR, Millennium Campus, and The Point Construction: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42084480@N00/

Great photos g-man!

Thanks, g-man! Great update!

I'm hearing "rumblings" that there are a couple of new announcements for Millenium within the next couple of weeks. I don't know any details (but I'm trying to find out). Anybody else hearing these rumblings?

Well I don't believe any sort of announcement will be made on THIS rumor but I could be wrong. I do know that a certain non-government funded hospital system that's namesake enjoys the company and caretaking of animals is in talks with multinational conglomarates to provide wellness services. ***Puts Thesaurus Away*** Sorry about the words, I was told not to talk about it ...

Did yall read the Greenville News article about ICAR? A group is calling it pork barrel spending and a waste of tax payers' dollars. I got mad and stopped reading it .

Anyway, I'm not exactly sure how they can say that, becuase it's going to be working on something that the United States as a whole needs! Alternative fuel and such. YEA, that's a national matter that the NATIONAL govt should address, so them giving money to this is promoting development in one place in the US, BUT it's development that's "driving us into the future"... ugh.

Pork barrel in a way, BUT it's in the best interest of the nation. I could see it being considered a waste if it was to build Verdae (bad example, but you get the idea, that's a Greenville project, ICAR is on a national level).

Ok, my rant is over.

Maybe the Governor has gotten into the minds of some people around here.

There have always been naysayers before the greatest inventions and developments in history, so this shouldn't scare any of us. The outlook is only positive for this development and each of the other innovative research projects taking shape around the state.

I think the study only looked at the way the money was allocated, not necessarily the use of it.

I found it under "commercial office" instead of "commercial use." Thanks for the the pointer, g-man! I found something else cool on that site, but I'll post it in another thread.

[g-man430]

Oh, sorry. I mean't commercial office.

It looks as if from looking at that pic, construction has just started on the new parking garage that is going to be located right next to Timken. Also, they said groundbreaking was to take place in April for it, so they seem to be right on track.

Clemson has released the new logo for CU-ICAR

Bump. We need some pic updates people.

[RestedTraveler]

Maybe for the Construction Threads? If gasoline weren't so darned expensive right now or if I had a good trail on which to ride over to that part of town...

[goodbye]

Or even a nice "rail?"

[RestedTraveler]

That too. Heck, I'd settle for a bus route.

[goodbye]

I'm with you. I'd settle for any type of decent transit between many of the Upstate cities.

A small photo update. 4 structures are either built or under construction:

Timken building:

Foundation / first floor construction of either another office building or the first parking deck, not sure which:

Graduate School going up:

BMW:

Those are great. That second pic you took gsupstate is the parking garage going up. I took some pics today too. I was suprised to find them working on the site today, seeing how it was Mother's Day and a Sunday too. Here are mine, which look pretty much the same:

[GvilleSC]

You guys! I went out today too and took some pics. hahaha we probably passed each other somewhere in the campus...? Ill refrain from posting more pics of the same progress in construction.

[RestedTraveler]

I'll just send mine to the waste basket.
