Gardner and Coltrane are coming down

Unread post by JPatH3292 » Mon Jul 19, 2021 10:35 am

The demolition for the two dorms has begun and will take the rest of the year to complete. This will become a surface parking lot and should make for a great tailgating lot close to the stadium. We’ve got another year or two before all this construction wraps up on the west side.....for now ;)

So how many dorms or dorm rooms are going to replace all those demolished? What about dorms on what used to be the women's dorms side of campus? Hoey, etc?

So many good memories in Gardner from my freshman year. Every game I attended after graduating I always looked up at room 615 on my way to the stadium. Sad to see them go.

If only they could time the detonation to the home opener kickoff...

I got all the info from this site. I think the new dorm going up on the old justice site is the last new one planned for now. But all the new dorms are larger and actually add to the total number of beds on west side believe it or not.
Bowie and Eggers will also come down at some point and be replaced with another surface parking lot. East is the only dorm on east side planning to be demolished at some point.

So you are saying there will actually be more rooms after all thedorms are demolished and new ones built. If so, that is good to hear. Say, will that number include numbers to account for growth over the past few years compared to dorm space we had before growth or just replacement rooms??

My understanding is they can't do a detonation with these dorms. They will take them down floor by floor.

Too close to Stadium Drive for a detonation probably.

It’s all on the site linked for you. It’s in the first paragraph. The master plan gives lots of details. You should read it for yourself, it’s very detailed and well thought out.

I think I read when the stadium lot dorms were starting that the net was going to be about 400 beds after all was said and done. I think the Bowie and Eggers area will become parking. I can't remember what the entire design/map showed but I remember something being posted on here a few years ago. It likely was a link from the appstate website. . Frank was renovated recently so those dorms are not going anywhere at this point.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

When I got my room assignment to Gardner Hall in the summer of 06 I honestly contimplated switching my enrollment to ECU after spending freshman orientation in Gardner. But I sucked it up and moved into the third floor of Gardner Hall that fall; and that ended up being one of the best decisions I have ever made. Life long friends, stories I still tell today, lessons learned etc. I am so blessed to be able to say I got to stay in Gardner Hall!

If poor sweet Elrod is on this board I wish I could say we were sorry for making his life a nightmare as RD, but I can't. It was too much fun....oh and that wasn't tobacco in the microwave of the penthouse common area in the spring of 07.

3rd floor of Coltrane back in ‘03-‘04. Man we gave the RA a hard time. Some incredible memories in that place, even if it felt like living in a coat closet. I remember both dorms coming together for watch parties for The Chappelle Show. Too many other good memories to post.

GO APPS!!
