New Cajun Field renovation timeline after 2023 season | Cajun UL Ragin

Posted on By Kartika
Renovation

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has announced that the renovation of the Cajun Field at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium will not affect the upcoming fall football season.

In June 2021, UL and Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center announced that the hospital purchased the naming rights to the stadium for $15 million, which will help fund the project. At the time, officials said they expected work to start “at some point after the 2022 football season”.

But on Monday, the athletics department assured fans planning to buy or renew 2023 season tickets that their seats would not be moved.

The demolition process is now expected to begin after the 2023 season, and the new projected timeline is “18 to 24 months”, indicating an anticipated completion and opening date in time for the 2025 season.

“It’s very time-consuming and very slow,” said UL athletic director Bryan Maggard. “We

In partnership with The Repository, every Monday, the Stark Community Foundation highlights positive events in our community. Here’s to Good News Monday!

The Golden Key Center for Exceptional Children is on its way to serve more local students with special needs with a $2.5 million renovation and expansion.

The Golden Key is a non-public, not-for-profit special needs school that provides quality education and intervention services to preschoolers through eighth graders with autism and other cognitive disabilities. Students from 13 of Stark County’s 18 school districts attend The Golden Key, but enrollment is limited due to available school space. The school is at maximum capacity with a growing waiting list of families who need its services, making this renovation and expansion project important to our community.

Again:The good people are still there. Never mind the negative things in politics, social media

inspired by the cinema world, MCA forms reel house in colorado

located in Coloradothe Reel House sees the sweeping renovation of a Victorian two-story home, offering a modern take on a timeless classic. Inspired by the client’s profession in cinematography, the project by MCA (Matteo Cainer Architects) was designed to capture the essence of the cinematic experience, characterized by excitement, surprise, emotion and lighting techniques. To achieve this, the design team focused on three main elements, the projector, reels, and film strip, as the primary architectural language, resulting in a unique and innovative design that embodies the spirit of the silver screen.

‘As a conceptual approach, we pursued the architectural strategy of ‘nesting’ which gave us the opportunity to design and develop the project from within, as if a ‘film within a film’. By slowly deconstructing and understanding the ‘magic’ behind the camera, we designed a project that curates

Text description provided by the architects. Nanjing Combat Machinery Factory is located on the west side of Hongshan in the north of the city and is nearby the Nanjing Railway Station. The factory was built in the 1950s. With the expansion of the city and industrial development, the production department moved out, which leads to the idle of the original factory. Around 2006, people tried to renew the factory, hoping to reopen it as the creative industrial center. However, for some reason, the building failed to attract people’s attention even though it was renewed.

Before and After: How a $360,000 renovation transformed a Junction shack into a sparkling family home

Goodbye, muddy floors, ’70s paneling and dilapidated shed. Hello, airy interiors, bespoke cabinets and EV-ready garage

Toronto, Real Estate, Before and After: basement before


The place

A three-plus-one-bedroom, four-bathroom semi in the Junction that just underwent a big-time renovation. It has a separate one-bedroom basement apartment and a new two-car garage with a panel that can support an EV charger.

Thehistory

Gord Harrison, a contractor, initially purchased this 100-year-old property, for $1 million in February of 2021, as a home for his young family. He brought in his friend Shawn Chua, with whom he had partnered on a dozen previous renos, to share the load. But, a year into the job, they discovered a rat’s nest of problems: poor insulation, asbestos and a basement floor that required re-pouring. Harrison needed to recoup costs, so he kiboshed moving in, instead opting to rent

Belmont Park renovation work could bring the Breeders’ Cup to New York in the future

Posted on By Kartika
Renovation

The home of the third and final leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown is finally getting a major makeover.

A little over a year from now, after it hosted the Belmont Stakes in 2024, Belmont Park is set to undergo a $455 million renovation of everything from the track surface to a new, smaller grandstand more fit for the sport in the modern era.

Once completed, the track should host the best horses in the world for a Breeders’ Cup in the not-too-distant future, but the expected construction timeline raises the question of where the 2025 Belmont will take place. New York Racing Association president and CEO Dave O’Rourke expects a clearer answer on that in the coming months when the project is further along.

The 1 1/2-mile race known as “the test of the champion” has been run before at Aqueduct in Queens, from 1963-67 when Belmont Park was

Quebec to renovate Salon bleu at national assembly

Posted on By Kartika
Renovation

Quebec’s national assembly hall, known as the Salon bleu, will be extensively renovated with seating reconfigured into a “horseshoe” shape.

The plans were announced Thursday by the Bureau de l’Assemblée nationale (BAN), consisting of elected representatives from the Coalition Avenir Québec government, the Quebec Liberal Party and Québec solidaire. The Parti québécois does not have enough members to sit on the BAN.

The current seating arrangement in the Salon bleu is inherited from the British parliamentary tradition. It places the government and the “loyal opposition” face to face.

In 2020, the government House leader, Simon Jolin-Barrette, said he would like to see a “new layout to improve the working climate.”

The assembly’s former president, François Paradis, suggested taking advantage of the renovation work to rearrange the chairs in the hemicycle, like in France, but the idea was quickly dismissed by his successor Nathalie Roy.

“Let’s get down to business: the
