Work gets started on YSU’s WATTS Center

Yes, it is a great idea 4. I emailed someone that I know, & she suggested that I email the webmaster. However, they did say that the cam is over at the Williamson site. I am sure they have had more than one in the past.

I wish they would set the cam up for summer camp as well.

What a surprise.  I just tried to check out the Williamson web cam, and the web page is not responding.  Maybe they took it down in order to move it to the WATTS site.

The Williamson webcam has been down for over a month! I have called Ron Cole, but to no avail.

Maybe someone up in Youngstown can get the Williamson webcam back up and also one at the WATTS site.

Now that OSU has finished spring practice, when is JT coming up for the official groundbreaking?

Just a quick update.  The site has been cleared and graded down to level dirt. There is no construction going on yet. Since about 75% of this facility is basically a warehouse, and warehouses can be constructed very quickly, this facility should go up rapidly.  Of course, starting construction would be nice.

Fan,

What's the latest from your "insiders" on this facility?  Nothing has happened at the site for over 3 weeks now.

I have been told (unidentified source) that we should not worry.  Waiting for the weather to stop raining.  Source of heating has now been decided, heat will originate from below ground (very green minded saving energy and overall cost). Some extra contracting and planning involved.  No problem.  Keys are scheduled to be turned over to YSU just before Christmas of 2010.  All is on schedule.

You know, I have not heard anything. That is probably good. My best two sources are a secretary and a receptionist in that area. So if something was wrong, they would have said something. So I would tend to agree with EL's source.

I am interested in that heating EL. I wonder if we can get more info on that?

Thanks for the info.  I was getting nervous as nothing was happening for the entire month.  Your explanation has eased my concerns.

What is happening at the WATTS Center?

There seems to be no news about it on any web sites. Are they actually digging or is everything at a halt.

Someone on the other message board reported that they had some rebar in place, but that was about it.

Thanks ysuquins4 for the WATTS update:

I am happy that there is some work at the future WATTS site, I plan to be in the Youngstown nieghborhood during the July 4th weekend. I'll stop over at the campus to see the latest changes.

I am looking forward to the 2010 football season.

Go Penguins!!
