Since more than half of this blog's readers are SFU Alumni (a good number of them Engineers), I figure most people haven't been to SFU's Burnaby campus in a while. To continue with my posting earlier today on changes at SFU, I took some pictures of the on-going development. The first image is a map of SFU with arrows indicating the location and direction of the photos below (in numerical order). Here's a brief description of what I see driving around the top of The Hill:

• Last year, a through-road was paved from University Drive directly to B-Lot. This makes getting to B-Lot less round-about (photo 1). The end of the bottom lot, where most engineers parked, has a new flight of wooden stairs (photo 2), possibly temporary.


• The Pit was covered and excellent lighting installed (photo 7). There's no echo like we used to have, and it's more study conducive. The grad area is now a computer lab, housing 30 fairly new PCs (photo 8).


• With the Pit covered, offices are being built on the floor above (photo 6) -- a 3rd floor is being constructed on top of that (photos 3 - 5).


• A new building is going up above B-Lot (photos 9 - 11). I wonder if this is the new CMPT building.


• A couple large complex is being built for UniverCity, just down from the Water Tower (photos 12 - 15).


• A number of large residential buildings and a dining hall are under construction in SFU Res (photos 16 - 18). I wonder if they're going to have underground parking, because the buildings eat up some of the small parking lot already there.
