That'll be me doing a Triple Lutz, inverted Swan Dive with one more 5-7 season....

Triple Lutz? Why not a Hamel Camel? Figure skating my good friend...haha.

Wow so this would be behind the existing IPF. Looks like Hecht would be completely demolished and replaced by this beauty. I haven't been to campus in a couple of years so trying to picture where this will go and what it will replace.

Look at the overview map. This new building will go between the IPF and the basketball facility ... the Hecht appears to remain in tact.

Coral Gables allowed it?

 

[Ispyin]

How about a new coaching staff?

They have to go to John Ruiz for that, not coral gables

This looks amazing, I wonder what would be the timeline once it gets city approval.

2 years. It's already (pretty much) pre-approved on issues of height and square footage.

Please note, this is an internal campus building. Nowhere near any Coral Gables residents.

This should be fairly easy.

Per the pictures, this would not impact "Old Hecht" at all (at this time). Both "New Hecht" and "****inson Parking" will go in the current Wellness Center parking lot.

What would be an issue if anything, with getting this going

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I was on campus week 1 of the season. the parking lot this is proposed to be on was already looking like it was prepped to begin construction

Yeah. Most of this is pre-approved. The construction will move FAST.

What would be an issue if anything, with getting this going

Formalities. Actual votes on the record. Make sure nobody is trying to slip one past the goalie.

Oh, and money. Still gotta raise some more of the cash, but per Parker, there are multiple (greater than 10) significant gifts/pledges already lined up. And a couple of them are super-significant, among the largest amounts ever pledged (on the level of the Carol Soffer gift).

Check out Gattis buried under the parking garage.

Too soon. Too soon...

For now.

Rad will have this thing built before Mario completes his staff changes.

How you do anything is how you do everything……..

I hope he wasn't considering jumping when he realized Gattis is still employed as OC

No, Mario was directing the construction staff on where to bury the body...
