Worst building to have a class in, with the weirdest shaped rooms. Like you'd have a calculus class in a room that was 30 feet long, but only 4 feet wide.

We have a 30 page thread from years ago saying Kirby Smith was being imploded back then

I always thought that building was the biggest eyesore on a beautiful campus. Kind of like the Montparnasse Tower in Paris. The best thing about it is the view from out of the window. You can see everything else, but you can't see it.

2nd floor Room 209A- 2000

Thank God I never had to use the elevators and someone always disabled the locks and camera on the side door!

Yeah, but the choices were chicken jambalaya, pizza, chicken jambalaya, or chicken jambalaya.

Checking in for 1987. Forget my room number but even 10 years younger Kirby Smith was a shithole. Even Hatcher with the hall bathrooms were better than Kirby Smith.

Truth. What were architects thinking when they built these buildings?

I thought they were going to tear down Kirby Smith a decade ago. But it’s still sitting there like some giant, unwanted housing project.

they should have done this before all the new dorms were built.

I'm going to be sitting in the parking lot with a six pack as the last piece of the Eastern Block comes down!

They've done some renovations because they were using it for office space for awhile on some floors especially after Katrina

10th floor here. Late 90s.

Did y'all ever go up to the roof? shite was always unlocked at the top of the stairs on the Enchanted Forest side.

I never did like that building, either. There was always something "off" about the atmosphere in there. I can't put my finger on the exact description of it; it just felt depressing in there.

Feels like I’m been posting “Rest in Piss” in regards to Kirby Smith on here for the last 15 years. They need to quit teasing and just do it. Oh yeah 7th floor represent!

It's why I chose it

Stayed there for Boys' State in 1983, took meals at that dining hall.

While I couldn't wait to get out and move to an apartment, I wouldn't trade my year there for anything.

We used to piss in empty dip cans and freeze them. Then we'd pop out the newly-formed "piss puck" and slide it under people's doors on the 11th and 9th floor.

So if anyone here in the late 90's ever woke up to a mysterious puddle of piss just inside the main door of their room, my bad.
