I know we all talk about facility construction but

[TDAWG.sixpack]

what about building removal. Many facilities are either abandoned or are extremely close and are a major sore thumb to the campus.
For example
Suttle Hall was supposed to be destroyed a couple of years ago if I am not mistaken, Rice is nearing its end, the old ag and bio engineering building( Howell, I believe) is still standing eventhough a new ag & bio building has been recently built. And the campus is also littered with these random buildings that look like they were originally some faculty homes or something.
We have a huge campus, but I think we need to start using some dynamite real soon.

In addition, I believe loyd ricks will look nice during football season. Unfortunately, Dorman will still be there

if it weren't for the school making all freshman live on campus. Once they did that Suttle cannot be destroyed until the new dorms near cresswell and hathorne is finished. Suttle is an eye sore for many and I'm still waiting to watch the demolition

 

[The Big Slick]

nm

 

[dawgstudent]

the new dorms near Cresswell and Hathron? I didn't even know they were building new dorms.

 

[msudawg12]

just soph's or above

 

[bonedaddy401]

Not only is it totally independent arcitectually from the rest of the campus, it sits across the street from where the most people that come come to campus all year congregate.

I say they tear it down and expand the Junction or redo it from the ground up to make it actually look like the rest of campus.

If any of you have been on the inside of it, it is equally as terrible from that perspective also.

 

[MSTATE22]

until the guy in the room next to them committed suicide during the christmas break. That place is a ********. We use to throw our old tv's and vcr's off the top floor.

 

[dawgstudent]

that used to cover the windows on Cresswell. They ran all the way from the top to the bottom. I know plenty of people who just throught their trash out the window and the trash would collect by the 1st floor window. I would have hated to have lived on the first floor.

 

[DerHntr]

i took a stats course in there a few years back and the room we were in had at least 8 broken desks, was half painted, and smelled like a turd covered with hair and on fire.

 

[Paper Dog]

It was supposed to be destroyed in Summer of 2007 then there was need for it in 2007-08 so the demolition date got moved to July 2009

Have no idea if that date is still firm or not; however, Suttle was totally empty in the past school year

 

[msudawg12]

that the reason it didn't get torn down immediately was asbestos. But I know they can contain that so who knows.

 

[msudawg12]

I was just saying that no freshman lived in Suttle at the time of the decision to close it. Had a buddy living there and he ended up having to move

 

[Bdog9090]

Weren't they put up back in the 60's or 70's because of pantie raids?

 

[dawgstudent]

that threw underwear he sharted out his window. As I said, I would have hated to be on the first floor.

[lawdawg02]

not suttle. your friend may have been there, but it was not a freshman dorm. and i think the suicide was over thanksgiving, because they didn't find him until his roommate came back the next week. that's how bad suttle was - gunshot in the dorm and no one noticed.

and at that time, hathorn and cresswell still had the coverings. hathorn was also the dorm of the freshmen athletes - good times. pig prather is still the loudest and most talkative person i've ever been around.</p>

 

[topdawg.sixpack]

I dont know how this building is going to look, but it is going to be sandwiched directly in between Rice and McComas, which both need major work.

 

[topdawg.sixpack]

That military brown, monstrosity is the worst part about Dorman, which is evidence in that picture posted on here a couple of weeks ago. The rest of the building is awful, but the a/c makes it 10x worse.

 

[dawgstudent]

some freshmen lived in Suttle.

 

[jakldawg]

or something like that. I guess that was a big concern for parents in the late 60's. Those places were total hell-holes.

 

[MSTATE22]

I lived in hawthorn 2nd floor. Pig lived down the hall and Justin Jenkins lived next door with Justin Griffith.

 

[lawdawg02]

so some freshmen lived there. but it wasn't a freshman dorm, right? i don't remember anyone living there, but maybe they did. </p>

 

[dawgstudent]

I know in fall of 97, some freshman there lived there. Cant speak for 98.

But you are correct, it wasn't a freshman dorm.

 

[SWFLDawg]

after my freshman year. It was a dump 25 years ago. It looked like bolshevic worker housing. We used to drive golf balls from the front lawn of hightower into the Suttle parking lot.

Remember the POS weight room in the basement? A wall of funk would hit you when you walked in the door.

 

[lawdawg02]

i wouldn't know about 97. it probably was overflow freshmen or something during those years.

i wasn't trying to call anyone out - just point out that i don't ever remember it being a "freshman male dorm". at least from 98-02. it was always upperclass guys.

 

[Croomp]

having all freshman live on campus made housing the biggest mess. It pushed all the upperclass out of the dorms except for athletes and resident directors. People were living in the engineering buildings awaiting notice for a room opening on campus for the semester because of the waiting list being so overcrowded.

 

[The Big Slick]

That was my freshmans year, and was warned by several older friends of mine to be sure and get my housing application in early or risk getting stuck in Suttle, rather than Hathorne or Creswell.

 

[Croomp]

and keeping up with what they have done in Zacharias Village. The new ones will be towers similar to Cresswell and Hathorn complete with bathroom and shower in every room if I remember correctly. And yea what Topdawg said about the construction that it is beginning. It's going to be real tough on everyone having to circulate through there until they get it fully constructed.

 

[Roy Munson.sixpack]

had 2 buddies that did. One moved his **** in and never stayed. Slept on my floor during rush and the first 3 weeks of school until we made buddies with a baseball player thats roommate didnt show up, and he was allowed to move in with him. The other one moved his *** into the fraternity house as soon as he got his bid...had to go through a bunch of medical **** to get released and/or parents making excuses for why he couldnt stay. Maybe it was 2nd semester that he ran from that hole, but he got out too.

I think it was thanksgiving that kid shot himself. It was right next door to where my buddy that moved in with the baseball players room was. We lived in hathorn...never a dull moment with those athletes in 98. Used to bring Justin Griffith and Jerry Bolton back and forth from time to time when we would go home. Anyone remember nick floyd? Sheesh, that guy was a specimen and wore a dog collar. Fun times...our 3rd, thats right we went through 3 of those bastards on the 4th floor, died over spring break....

 

[lawdawg02]

i can still picture nick floyd in his wife beater and dog collar - he was ripped. too bad he sucked at football. robert jackson was on our floor, and he always had to duck, just walking down the hall. i was next door to dicenzo and mario haggan - those fools played more playstation NCAA football than anyone i've ever seen. good times indeed. too bad dicenzo got the big head by the time we were seniors. mario was always cool, though. pig was a HUGE porn-hound. he'd walk down the hall looking for "flicks". "AY, MAIN, WHERE DA FLICKS AT?" hilarious.

 

[urethrafranklin]

why no mention of those buildings on engineering row, like patterson and walker? cold war shells look awful. and maybe i'm shooting for the stars, but what about that monstrosity known as simrall?

 

[TDAWG.sixpack]

Civil engineering will be construcing a new building between the health center and band hall, so I dont know if aerospace will take over walker or move out. The CE building will probably break ground in 2-3 years.

 

[Roy Munson.sixpack]

i was always in marios room playing nfl blitz. Those sumbitches were good. I never beat em. Crazy **** for sure. We were always gettin in trouble. Me, Taquino and Dow gave adam larson hell.

 

[Xenomorph]

 

[dawgoneyall]

1/2 of summer of 74. It was a dump then. Made Crumpton trailer park seem like paradise.

 

[Croomp]

Simrall is a great building it's just the outside appearance that could be changed. But inside it is still a good building and has one of the nations top electrical research laboratories (Countries from across the globe have used it for extensive research)

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

The brown and orange auditorium carpet/fabric and the faux-wood panel walls in the offices need to be taken out and burned if they are still there.
