more money for the law school

Then I guess 80% of the GC's and CM's in the world should just go out of business?

You're really saying 80% don't do any trades?

I know 100% perform some trades.

The new engineering building will not be connected to the old one.  In fact the old engineering building most likely won't even be an engineering building anymore.

Correct.  There are going to be 2 new engineering buildings (the 1 currently under construction and the second that will be built once more funds have been raised).  These buildings are across 16th St. from the current Haggerty/Olin complex.  Once the current building is complete, lab equipment and some faculty offices will be transferred there.  My professors think it could take a year to move and implement everything.  Haggerty will be used for Engineering lectures until the second new building is completed.  At that point, I've heard that the Theology and Philosophy departments are hoping to move into the old building.

I guess if you consider providing a superintendent, a project manager and maybe a couple laborers with brooms a "trade" then 100% is correct otherwise I'm not sure what GC's or CM pool you are referencing.  Anyway I think McShane could be competitive and am just wondering if there is that big of a difference in the amount donated between opus and McShane.

The thread was hijacked to other points, but I dont see any mention of any construction/building-- $2 million for a Public Policy Center only will  be enough to sustain/endow a professorship, a director, pay for staff/seminars, computers, etc. but it would seem likely required to occupy current space.
Our Texas schools dont announce building without about $20 million involved (I dont know why univ. building is so expensive-- it just seems typical now.)
