Wonder why the webcam for the Hogan Lot is still down.... Even PP's efforts to get it back online have proven futile..... So, had appointments this morning (08/02) in Worcester and came home via HC to see what progress has been made on the lot.... Here are some pics.... first thoughts relative to the parking area is that it is a pretty good slope.... View Attachment View Attachment View AttachmentAm I seeing correctly that the entrance to Hogan is now at the same elevation as the parking lot? Or actually a bit lower? Either way, no more stairs to enter the building? It looks like the entrance loop had be incorporated into the lot i.e. eliminating the uphill side of the loop; the entrance is lower than the lot

The stairs on the exterior of Hogan were eliminated with the renovations in 1997 to the building.

From reviewing the web cam, there seems is a lack of activity on the Prior Center this week. Has the job site been stopped for a vacation?

There have not been stairs on the exterior of Hogan for years. To make the building handicap accessible, a vestible was built many years ago to protect the small lift to the right as you enter Hogan from the parking lot. There may be some changes in the slope and maybe a small change in elevation, but unless they are modifying Hogan, the height of the sidewalk/street in the renovated parking lot will be roughly right were it is in this picture. And you can see, there are still stairs to actually ge to the 3rd floor level. Yup, I forgot that. Same thing on the other side, where back in the day there were outside stairs (and a tremendous waste of space "porch " that ran the length of the building), but now the sidewalk level entrance is to the downstairs area. Thank you for the clarification.

If the Hogan parking lot cam comes back, you can gauge the number of workers from the cars parked in the new lot by the Luth.

I have learned that some IT staff at HC are still working remotely, so replacing a bad webcam may take a while.

Guess it goes without saying if the IT guys can't work remotely effectively, who can? Unless the camera got hit by lightning or blew off the Hogan roof. I'm still putting my money on a change of location.

I'll call it a win if someone just updates the website data on admissions and finances. August 4 and still crickets.

Reinforcing my guess that they are either moving the camera or will do so within the next two weeks, this is what it says under the non-functioning camera site:
emphasis mine. Since they moved it from The Jo to watch the construction of the parking lot after The Jo was finished, if all on schedule, in another 2 weeks presumably it'll all be done.

Speaking of construction at HC, I am just throwing out the 2019 Holy Cross Calendar and on the bottom of the January page there is a small photo of the basement of O'Kane from it's dedication in 1895. The caption said the ground floor included a gymnasium and an elevated running track.
126 years later it is nice to again say that Holy Cross has some of the best indoor training facilities in New England.

Crew was working today, installing curbing for the drive that circles the 'new' parking lot.

Has there been an update regarding the Hogan Lot Web Cam? Nothing more on my end. Perhaps someone can email ITS@holycross.edu and ask whether they plan to restore the webcam. My contact no longer has the campus webcams under their direct purview.

Geez, Phreek, I thought you knew more than one guy! Can't you get your drones flying? Weather issues? Your reputation here is a stake!

The web cams are for us normal folk for seeing the campus construction progress. I would guess that PP’s surveillance of the campus is from a forgotten Hughes Aerospace Optical or Perkin Elmer Satellite that he has access.
Sader70, guess it is up to you and me to make some phone calls regarding the Hogan Cam.

Crucis, I lost any “juice” I used to have. Long story, not for here.

When you guys go to Hawaii, you are the only ones who request a room overlooking the parking lot instead of the ocean.🤣

Not me either.... Definitely not looking to see a parking lot when I am on any island. Maybe overlooking a volcano..... when in Hawaii. Great fireworks.

But if you want a view of a parking lot in Hawaii.... here it is. I want the beach or the volcano.

Hope that Brett can get the team scheduled into a Thanksgiving tournament in the Caribbean. I would be extremely annoyed with a parking lot view if I go.
But at the HC campus.....all views are good.
