Glory hole moved to Fondren in late 90s. Check DMN/DC articles.

well at least those are gone. But they were some of the quietest restrooms on campus, barely any foot traffic to disturb you.

I remember attending the groundbreaking for that almost five years ago. The wheels turn slowly.

Last I heard was they are going to build the new health center where the natatorium was at.

Great location - especially with the new dorms, but man that is some valuable real estate for something like that.

What would go in the old health center location then?

The new health center (Dr. Bob Smith Health Center) will be built where the old (recently demolished) health center was (between Virginia-Snyder and Mary Hay).

On our way to church on Sunday, we drove by the old natatorium site. It's a park now, with benches and everything. Kind of hope they keep it that way as it will really open things up nicely for Boulevarding.

The area is nice, but it really needs a huge fountain.

I think it is far enough away from his quad to justify building one

There's a big hole in the ground on the new "median" they're putting in on the east side of SMU blvd. Turner might be expanding his fountain empire east.
