Have several hundred sets of house plans, to give away

Have collected them through the years at work.
They are "complete sets", and were used for construction purposes.
They are collecting dust, and would dig a new home where they can be used, again.
I figured they could be used by a drafting school, a library, high school shop class, or for learning how to perform material takeoffs.
And hey, they are full paper sets, not a dam computer file.
Im in BR area.

I love having old plans (commercial mostly because that's what we deal with for the most part) and was gonna say if no takes them I'd love to scan them into our server if we currently had an intern.

Call the CM department at BRCC, they'd probably be able to use them.

My dad is a fire alarm engineer and we always used the plans as wrapping paper.
An educational purpose would be much better, but I always thought it was cool to get presents wrapped in blueprints.

Hmm, maybe a new christmas time, gift wrapping kiosk for Abdul, at the mall ?

Revit doesn't offer me any help because we're mostly doing renovations on buildings over 50 and sometimes 100 years old so there are nothing to go by but maybe some scanned originals that are terribly hard to read. Matterport and other photogrammetry stuff is what really helps on these but several times I've shuffled around an abandoned building taking field measurements and sweating my arse off.

If you make your way to BR you can stop by the office and scan the drawings to PDFs. We have had a few interns over the years and our physical archives went from taking up half of a 300 ft² storage room to all on the server.

If an architect drew them you may not own the rights to them.
