multiple times. i remember it was supposed to be torn down in in like 2003 or 4. LSU won the NC and enrollment skyrocketed and the kept it open to fill the higher enrollment.

Welp, no one in this thread will ever be elected to office or confirmed by the senate.

Didn't realize this was the work being done. Just knew I walked by it a ton and it was under construction. Still no excuse for LSUs poor planning and having to waste the money redoing it in the first place.

Surprised it made it through its end without full scale SJW rioting about the name.

The smell of the elevator on Saturday morning will forever haunt me.

When they implode this thing, can you imagine the DNA that will fill the air?

'03-'04. Got to room in both "penthouse" suites (1401 and 1402). The place was a shithole, but the view of Tiger Stadium was nice. Not only did I get stuck in the elevator for 2 hours, but jackasses pulled the fire alarms three nights in a row during finals. Where can I watch the live stream of the implosion??

Kirby Smith Hall

This dump and that uninspiring Middleton Library is what is keeping LSU from being a truly beautiful campus.

When I lived there, 1977 I think it was, a guy jumped off the roof and there was blood splattered up the side of the building from where he landed. The fire department came and washed it away.

And, if the walls in that building could talk,it could tell some tales.

From the posts here and from what I've heard, thank God I only had to spend a week in Kirby Smith during Boys State in summer 1981 (is Boys State still a thing?)

Spent my LSU years (early-mid 80s) at an apartment off Gardere (before it became ghetto; apartment's not even there anymore), North Stadium (a lot of fun, but no A/C, and of course hasn't been used as dorms for years), and the Pentagon (Zachary Taylor Hall; liked that the best, despite the lack of a/c).
