I can't quite tell in the picture but they might just be different ceiling tiles and still be a drop ceiling. I would think that they still need a drop ceiling there to access wiring and what not, but I may be wrong.
I smell a big man TD in the future.

# | Virginia Tech Shares Photos of Merryman Athletic Facility Renovation Yep - plus, they replaced Danny Coale with a generic VT.... how do you replace Danny friggen Coale with a generic logo!?!?
(yes, yes, I know that's not actually Danny, but a rendering made by Clark Ruhland, but whatever, still counts)

# | Virginia Tech Shares Photos of Merryman Athletic Facility Renovation I don't think that is gray. I think the color scheme was entirely white or off white. The light gray is likely the difference between the down lights that are offset from the wall line and the rear mounted accent lights within the wall
id like to see him play some tight end! couple weeks back at Kevin Jones football camp he caught about 10 footballs until Isaiah Ford threw one that gave ole tim a bloody nose lol. still pretty impressive hands though.
Not sure where else to put this.... Might want to wear headphones, as the lyrics are NSFW
The ceiling with those slit lights is in the third pic (with the cheerleaders) but is executed very poorly.
It's like the rendering has components of both the cheerleader pic and the H-O-K-I-E-S pic, but the reality is worse in both conditions.
What I dislike the most is the anthracite on the walls, makes the place feel dated and cavelike. The lighter gray in the renderings was much better.
And I guess that's orange on the tile trim and columns, but it sure as hell looks red in some pics.
where I work yes.. obviously we don't pull them for 1 post but if we see a pattern then we bring it up with said recruit and let them know we see it and its a problem. If it continues then they've been warned and we tell them we are no longer honoring the scholarship due to (insert reasons).
Good News is most times the athlete gets this information and takes it the right way and it's never an issue after the quick chat.
Leg up and I'll keep it in mind on your recommendation.

Sounds like this is still a work in progress. Hopefully the updated ceiling and some lighter paint will help to enhance the look and bring it closer in line with the renders.
I think brighter accent lights behind the H-O-K-I-E-S lettering will help to enhance that as well. However, as one previous poster noted, there does seem to be a lot of yellow in those images behind the letters.
But what the hell do I know, I have no eye for this sort of thing. Hence leaving all the home decorating to my wife.

# | Virginia Tech Shares Photos of Merryman Athletic Facility Renovation yep, it's missing the style and swagger the designer put into it. The finished product isn't bad but it could've been damn cool had they followed the designer's intent.
you can do the same thing with any topic on any film
Okay then, please explain to us, using specific examples from the movie, how Scream is actually about herpes. (I just used a random topic generator and random movie generator and used the first two choices)

EDIT: I'm not just trying to be a dick here. I figured it would be fun to try out.
It's actually a pretty good slasher franchise. And the later ones are somewhat self-aware and parody themselves. Worth a watch.

# | Virginia Tech Shares Photos of Merryman Athletic Facility Renovation If they are, they aren't doing it anytime soon. You don't begin finishing touches before you remove a drop ceiling.
I'm guessing there's enough being hidden by the drop that they realized they can't remove it, and decided to save money by not touching it
They might still be getting rid of the drop ceiling. In the last picture the ceiling seems to match the rendering.

# | Virginia Tech Shares Photos of Merryman Athletic Facility Renovation At first, it just looked like they went with the darker anthracite on the walls than the light grey they had before....
But then I saw the ceiling in the actual hallway vs the render... *facepalm*... they were soooo close....
Entering the fray here: I have never seen the movie Scream, but the title makes me think it's so bad that having a case of Herpes might almost be preferable to seeing it. Carry on!
The biggest difference being the drop ceiling.

# | Virginia Tech Shares Photos of Merryman Athletic Facility Renovation I wish this picture was the reality. The over picky designer in me does not like the finished product compared to the renders.
David Wilson, no matter what, is a man among boys as both a person and an athlete. He's going to continue to amaze us down the line. The winning trials jump was 57'11" according to the article. That averages out to just over 19 feet per each leg of the hop, skip, jump. How many of you here ever simply long jumped 19 feet? I remember football coaches seeming to act like there was no sport outside of their game, these are some heckacious athletes Wilson was up against.
Those big horns were my favorite part of the football game as a little kid.

# | Virginia Tech Shares Photos of Merryman Athletic Facility Renovation All the accent lighting appeared orange from the pre-construction artists renders, so once its all complete, it'll come together nicely.
Of course, looking back, I am completely wrong
Unfortunately, there's really no likelihood that this would happen, at least not on a large scale. A recruit might be given a reason, but he won't likely share it because he's ashamed, and coaches can't say anything because they're not allowed to talk about anyone they're recruiting. A few "insider" reports may come out if things leak to those with connections, but probably not enough to make a difference.
