I'm interested in others' opinions on relocating the Stone Fort issue. Since the architects will be well-compensated, there should be enough creative expertise to both preserve the Stone Fort in place and construct a new Science Building.
I guess I'm indifferent on the matter. Its a replica of the original but replica is old as 1936. I would assume the builders/architects have thought about this matter and won't just tear it down for no reason at all. I don't believe the sense that it will lose its Texas Historical Building status if it is moved.
I get the historical sense and the coolness but I think I only went into it once my whole time I was at SFA. Even though I remember people said its bad luck to go in and you won't graduate in four years..
In the end I hope they keep it. But at the same time I won't be heart broken if they do end up moving it to place where more people can enjoy and actually tour it instead of going to SFA campus for it.
This is about how I feel.
I'm not so super attached to it, but would like to see it preserved in general. If that's relocated to elsewhere in Nac, fine with me.
Encompassed inside glass in the new building? Also fine.
Moved to the edge of the football field and ol cotton is fired out a window? Sure!
Demolished and the stones are launched trebuchet style at those scoundrels down in Huntsville? I could live with that.
