@MattWalshBlog Ronald Dahl, the twits cime to mind.

@rustbeltkid1 Most likely a bit of both. We notice that a lot with our new builds. A ot of Neighbor jealousy to copy and also one up each other happens.

@OldHollowTree Post like you want* your children to read it.

[Jordan Ray Robbins @jrob8806]

@DScottFritchen I can add my name to that list as well. Great man and spokesperson for the university and specifically the construction science department.

[Jordan Ray Robbins @jrob8806]

@rustbeltkid1 Most of what the majority of people would describe to you why they like or don't like something Architecturally, could be summed up in the word Depth. Traditional building techniques have layers in the facade. New buildings, on purpose flatten everything.

@Fat_Electrician To most it feels like the solar and wind farm people who want it, but not near them. Easier to put it out "in the middle of nowhere" and just benefit from rural Kansas or Iowa in Kansas City or Chicago, etc.

[Jordan Ray Robbins @jrob8806]

@Fat_Electrician Its the increased demand on the surrounding community. In years past a factory or food processing plant would cause a similar reaction, but the benefit of trade off there is immediate to long term jobs. After the construction of the data center, its not going to have those jobs

[Jordan Ray Robbins @jrob8806]

@ZubyMusic Probably marriage and new birth statistics? Shows the investment of people into people. There would be a strong correlation to religion I would guess as well.

More extensive look at Big 12 FY25 data, both EADA and available MFRS data (see screenshot tables):

"Actual Athletic Profitability" (Generated Revenue - Tot Expenses):
K-St: $12.6
Iowa St: -$1.8
Ok St: -$5.4
Kansas: -$6.4
Utah: -$7.9
WVU: -$10.7
Texas Tech: -$13.9
UCF: -$26.0
Arizona: -$34.2
Colorado: -$43.3
Houston: -$47.3
Cincy: -$52.6
ASU: -$54.4
** K-St is the only Big12 public school to acheive net "Profitablility" by having the 3rd LOWEST Expenses & receiving NO subsidies (I'm sure they'd love to be dealing with a larger Revenue/budget/Expenses though...)

Total Subsidies (in millions;MFRS):
ASU: $59.7
Cincy: $51.7
Colorado: $43.5
Houston: $41.2
Arizona: $36.8
UCF: $31.2
Texas Tech: $14.8
Utah: $12.6
WVU: $8.1
Kansas: $1.9
Iowa State: $1.8
Ok St: $0.1
K-St: $0.0

Subsidies include:
-Student Fees
-Direct or Indirect Institutional Support
-Any Governmental Support

**Private schools don't make MFRS data public. The MFRS data is more detailed and transparent, but available EADA data is included for all schools as a reference and to get a "ballpark" figure for the private schools to slot them into the leauge data (the recruiting figures for EADA and MFRS are pretty consistent FWIW)

@ErikBootsma Wouldn’t you say the dormer home is a bit more federal or Edwardian vs the very Georgian styling with the center chimney of the white home?

[Jordan Ray Robbins @jrob8806]

While @JoshPateCFB is driving around northeast Kansas chasing tornadoes, I expect him to drop by and see @CK_KleinCollin and check on the excitement in the little apple this next season. Prepare for your tenant to K-State wildcats disrupting the playoff.

Great commentary about how stone is abused and how to get it right.

[Jordan Ray Robbins @jrob8806]

@ErikBootsma There’s no doubt that the “Jetsons” style is cool and even awe inspiring. It’s the fact that people were marketed that and then sold a Corbusier concrete and glass box.

[Rob Henderson @robkhenderson]

Guy scrolling X and posting tweets. Not enough words online for ya bud?

[Josiah Young @Inv3ntive15]

Wasn't expecting this to break containment...

All I'm saying is that appearance matters, beauty matters, towns that have unique features should be leaning into them, not flattening them out with slop.

Boring, standard apartments don't belong right off a cute downtown area.

[Jordan Ray Robbins @jrob8806]

@JoshPateCFB You've been suspiciously quiet on another new big12 coach. Early feelings on @CK_KleinCollin and @KStateFB ?

A master plan provides this vision for how a campus can expand and grow, to add new buildings over a long period of time, so that when a new building project is started, the institution already knows where this project fits into the larger plan.

This is because with a master plan in hand, the location, purpose and symbolism of every building is by design. Every part of a campus, every building, path, parking lot, etc. has been examined and designed to work individually but also designed to work as part of a cohesive whole.

Not only is the function understood, but the symbolism of every part is thought out as well. So, for instance, if a college has faith as the core of its mission, where the chapel will be built should be a part of a master plan. Without a master plan, the architects might have built a dorm where it should have been and lost the opportunity to symbolize the principles that they hold dear.

Institutions like churches, schools and colleges should always have a master plan so that when they are ready to build, they aren’t crippled by indecision or worse, by mistakes that can diminish the functional use or symbolic weight of their campus.
