University of Louisiana at Lafayette

A brick wall, 100 feet long and six feet tall at its peak, has been built in front of Martin Hall.

It has been dubbed the Welcome Wall because it’s our way of saying we’re glad you’re here, whether you’re a visitor or a member of our Ragin’ Cajun family.

The renovated and expanded Student Union is a linchpin on campus.

Across the street from new residence halls and adjacent to Cypress Lake, the U offers lots of dining options, meeting spaces, a post office and the Ragin’ Cajuns Store.

What’s 14 feet tall, weighs 3,000 pounds and embodies our Ragin’ Cajuns spirit? A 3-D, steel fleur-de-lis. It’s part of a fountain that’s the centerpiece of the Quadrangle, which was recently redesigned with the help of some talented UL Lafayette students.

Thanks to LED lighting, it can become a kaleidoscope of colors at night.
