We are old enough to still miss Clancy Thurburs'. Although not quite old enough to have ever enjoyed it. Here's a plan for the EMU: Raze it, raze the ruins, raze the results of that, and then salt the earth and walk away. It is, frankly, one of the least pleasant buildings I've ever seen. It's like half of one building metastasized itself onto some partly finished piece of 70s neo-brutalist garbage. Just nuke it from orbit and leave the smoldering rubble as a reminder about what happens to ugly buildings. Vincent - yes, yes we are. We are old enough to still miss Clancy Thurburs’.

Or tearing down Walton and erecting a Hamilton-style 7 story hi-rise in it's place? I'm waiting for a private interest to drop a bungaload of cash into the EMU reconstruction. Cause someone, somewhere, will do it. Student Housing…you mean the 20-year-plan where they will gut Bean and turn it into single luxury spaces?

This year the Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) actually wrote a resolution that was "postponed" by the administration, but VP of Student Affairs Robyn Holmes is working on getting the project in the construction queue, you know, behind a little project regarding an arena, and some student housing and stuff... small potatoes really. She's also working on finding grant money for the project, so not all of it will have to come from students. We’re working on it.
