New TTU Campus Pictures - 8/30/2011

Here is a new round of shots from around campus taken during the lunch hour today.

This group includes shots of the new Kent Hance Chapel, the new residence hall, the Dan Law Field renovation, the Jerry Rawls College of Business, and a few of Jones AT&T Stadium.

The wall supports are now going up on the chapel. They have cleared the land where the old women's gym was located and are prepping it for the rest of the new residence and dining hall.

They continue to dig out the old elevator shaft at Dan Law Field. Landscaping is going in around the College of Business.

There should be pretty good cell phone reception this fall at Jones AT&T Stadium. They have installed portable transmitter equipment in each section of The Jones and along both the east and west side buildings.

Made a Magazine Cover with One of My Texas Tech Campus Pictures

One of my shots of a wrapped Will Rogers and Soapsuds statue made the cover of the September/October Texas Techsan alumni magazine.

The picture was taken last fall during football season.

One of the editors of the magazine saw some of my shots on the blog and asked me to submit three shots and they picked the one below for the cover of the September/October edition.
