So the question on everyone's mind is...

Will the Dog Pound Deli be relocating?

I was in B1. Back then, guys and gals were separated by wing. B wing was a girls' wing. It was a floor of guys below 4 floors of girls. They had nowhere else to put us. Our floor name was "Wun Hung Lo". Those really WERE the days!!

Didn't they just completely remodel Stevenson though? Or was that Grant?

I will never forget all those wonderful things I did with the girls on the floors above me. We were quite a "social" bunch. Plus, the co-ed showers were quite interesting, to say the least.

I was C1 as well, though I don't remember playing baseball in the hallway, must have been different years.

Stevenson is going nowhere, it has been totlally renovated. Lincoln will be the other one to go. I was told a while ago the neither Lincoln or Douglas were worth renovating based on the way thet were built. Its better to level them.

Yeah, I agree. There's no reason to keep Lincoln if they're getting rid of Douglas considering they're carbon copies of each other.

Grant C & D were remodeled the past 4 years. Those are not on the 5 year plan to demo...but they are in the long term on the Baker building hit list of having no towers at all.

He does want to Neptune North renovated in the next 5 years.

He also wants Lincoln to become some sort of Artist dorm/studio which would likely transform every room into a single.

If that plan happens AND he keeps the 2 yr living in the dorm requirement starting in 2015, then we will need a new 750 or so bed dorm built in the next 5 years.
