forget the exact details but I think they were originally built as athletic dorms as a loophole to get financing for the stadium or to expand it, circa HPL era
Pretty sure Huey P had them built because the legislature wouldn't give him money for a stadium, but they would for dorms. So, he had the dorms built and put bleachers on the backside with a field.

The original stadium dorms were built with WPA (federal depression relief funds) monies to provide barracks space for ROTC cadets...that's the official reason, LOL
