The Bubble is down!

[HelenaHandBasket]

Honest question- I seem to recall that the bubble was delayed for at least a season because there was an issue with the foundation and it couldn’t carry the load - I might have the wording wrong but I am sure that it was late opening because it didn’t pass inspection- is the current foundation now approved for a real building? Or will that require a new inspection and permit?

Truthfully I am not opposed to a bubble as a concept but this thing has been an embarrassment to the university and the AD from the jump and is as ugly as sin. I honestly don’t think they could have done worse. It might have been the right decision- it has been horrible execution.

My understanding the delay was an occupancy issue during city permitting and a base issue related to moisture due to the wet weather and not a fundamental design issue.

The BOR doesn’t have the power to prevent a move.

In MT they do.

That bubble should’ve been tested in Livingston. If the bubble can make it through a winter in Livingston, it would survive anywhere, including Missoula.
