It looks like demo has started on the old theater and arts building today.

I grabbed a few quick shots of the demo on my walk to class. The second shows that dirt mound that urbanomics was talking about. I can almost bet that that dirt will be used to fill in the hole thats going to be left when they remove the slab of the building.

I'm watching them do some demo now and it's amazing to see how much of a fight the old Building is putting up. Very interesting about the mafia hangout too!

Thanks for the welcome! The Doan building on E.22 and Chester was purchased by the university around 2001. As far as I can tell originally the plans were for a parking structure there. Later on when the first master plan came out, the plans called for redevelopment of the building, but clearly that idea was not feasible. Sometime before I started at CSU (in 2009) the university did remove the loading dock area by the parking lot on the corner of 22nd and Chester, but thats really all I know about the Doan. I am excited to see what comes of the Stillwell renovations, as well as whatever the future holds for the new Science building. Our existing science facilities are QUITE outdated to say the least.

Demo of the Doan building started today, I was quite surprised to see when I went to class this morning. I am amazed at the speed this project is moving along. Just two months ago I was parking there and now the slab for building one (the first one facing Chester between E21 and E22) is all poured and what looks like stairwells are going up.
