+1 well done!

Ironically, the reason this building is more maroon than Cardinal is the exact same reason our Unis were too maroon. Metal panel suppliers have a group of standard colors; If a custom color is chosen, the cost goes way up!

More like 4 months.

Looks like its coming along nicely and very quickly...I guess it's a little longer than I thought since I've been to Ames and there was barely anything but dirt there so it's good to see. Thanks for posting!

I think that it opens next month.

How old is that article, because I remember hearing that they were going to have to hold off on the facility because of the economy.

Yeah it was in the gazette yesterday they are almost halfway to their $20 million fundraising goal and they break ground this fall. It will be a 2 year project not sure when their facility will actually open but I imagine it is fall 2011.

You serious. You ask if I always believe everything I hear, but you expect me to believe you. What I heard was an article in the gazette about two months ago.
