A reported renovation I am almost certain will not be included in the Pray-Harrold renovation

“P-H to get makeover” is an Eastern Echo article that sums up some of the upcoming renovation plans to Pray-Harrold.  I’m not entirely sure where the reporter got her information on these changes, but there is at least one that I am quite certain is not in the works:

Plans for the renovation include reworking the [...]

Pray-Harrold Renovation Meetings

I’ve been meaning to post this here for a while now.  From a memo I received recently:

In an effort to create a smooth transition to new locations during the renovation of the Pray?Harrold Building we have arranged to have four open forum meetings to share information about all matters related to the Pray?Harrold renovation and [...]

Swing space plan for Pray-Harrold, Science Complex in development

Former Ann Arbor News reporter/columnist and current EMU PR/writer guy Geoff Larcom sent me an email suggesting that I post a link to this Focus EMU article, “Swing space plan for Pray-Harrold, Science Complex in development.” It runs through the basic plans for what to do about space for offices, teaching, etc. for everyone [...]

Pray-Harrold meetings, milestones, schedules, and entropy

Just today, I received an email about the Pray-Harrold Advisory Committee about a meeting I can’t go to tomorrow and also about some “milestones and schedules” in the project. According to this document, the Pray-Harrold project is but one Legislative approval step away for construction, and that should be resolved very soon. According [...]

Stimulus good news/bad news

From today’s CHE: “Colleges and Students Cheer Congress’s Economic-Stimulus Deal.” Sure, maybe “cheer” in general terms, but it seems like a good news/bad news to me. The good news:

The compromise, $789-billion economic-stimulus bill that Congress is planning to try to deliver to President Obama by Monday contains large sums of money for [...]

“Congress Reaches Deal on $789 Billion Stimulus Bill”

From the CHE Daily: “Congress Reaches Deal on $789-Billion Stimulus Bill.” This thing is still clearly a moving target and given the pessimism I’ve heard lately about how this will work for bailing states (like Michigan) out of debt, I still think it’s too early to be optimistic. But here’s a couple [...]

Is the Pray-Harrold project turning into a train wreck?

What I don’t know about the Pray-Harrold renovation could fill the building

Say, it’s still not too late to enter the Pray-Harrold renovation finally begins pool here at EMUTalk.org– there’s lot of open dates, lots of fabulous prizes, etc. Why not sign up today?

I was reminded of the contest again yesterday because I attended (in my alternate capacity) a couple of the sessions where contractors talked [...]

Pray-Harrold renovations: Once again, I’ll believe it when I see it

Big stuff going down on campus this week: Frank “Post Secret” Warren gave a sold-out talk in the ballroom last night, the official/symbolic ground-breaking of the Mark-Jefferson science complex was today, and President Martin gets the inauguration treatment Thursday.

But I have to say that I still have Pray-Harrold on my mind, as does the [...]

Pray-Harrold shows the progress at EMU

In the comments for the post about Hendrix running for mayor of Detroit, Mark Higbee alerted me to an editorial that was in the AAN that I missed (too much essay commenting/grading as of late with my day job, I’m afraid), “Pray-Harrold shows the progress at EMU.” An excerpt:

Much has changed at EMU. The [...]
