Sigma Nu to recolonize at the University of Arkansas

That location is amazing.

Holy Crap! I just found a larger version of that map so I could read it... That's freakin Barnhill Arena right behind your house?!?!!! Insane.

You have to be the closest house to Barnhill. Are you the closest to Razorback Stadium? Or is LXA closer?

[ARSigmaNu]

Oh, we are definitly the closest. Barnhill is in front of the house. Unfortunatly they dont' have the basketball games there anymore. But they do have volleyball and gymnastics there, and we go just because no one else does! From our house south down stadium drive there is phi delt, LXA, SAE then FIJI. AGR is on the other side of the stadium, and Sigma chi, Kappa Sig and Pike are on the other side of campus.

I know the map is hard to read, I drew in the house on paint, kinda shitty, but yall get the idea. Banditone, I'm running to class, but I'll email you those floor plans around lunch.

Glad to know that our brothers are just as excited about the house as we are!

Here is the floorplans

Third Floor

Great pics. Questions:

1) OK, on the 2nd and 3rd floor plan pictures, if you look toward the back (top left) you see walkways coming off the building. How are you able to walk out the back like that from the 2nd/3rd floors? Wouldn't those be pretty high up?

2) On the first floor draft, it shows the entryway with the mega-patio, firepit. Is that all concrete beams and then wood? Will there be built in seating? What else are they putting on that patio??? It looks monstrous.

3) Do those huge windows near the patio open, or roll up?

4) Is there an elevator?

The University is built on top of a hill. there is a pretty steep gradient going down twards the stadium. The third floor has a walkway that goes straight out to the university, and underneath that on the second floor is covered patio kinda thing. I really don't know how to describe it, I'll see if I have time to take a couple of pictures from the back side to show you.

Someone posted an artist's rendering of the front of the house that shows what the patio will look like. Last time we talked to the alumni there was some doubt as to what all would be put out there due to budget, but I hope we get the whole nine yards.

3) Do those huge windows near the patio open, or roll up?

From what I've been told, yes, the dining room windows/doors will be able to open up to the patio. We'll see what actually gets built, as there is just plastic sheeting there now.

4) Is there an elevator?

The rumors are all true, there is an elevator! Actually, according to the ADA (americans with disabilities act) there has to be for new construction. But we are the only greek house on campus with one! It will definitely be shut off during parties tho.

For a house that size, you'd be crazy not to get a pretty good sized elevator. They're not that expensive really. My folks have one in their house.
