After years on the chopping block, one of LSU’s oldest and least loved dorms, Kirby Smith Hall, is set to close for good when the current semester ends in May and eventually be torn down.

“That building is definitely heading to demolition,” said Pete Trentacoste, executive director of Residential Life. “It’s not whether it will be demolished, it’s a matter of when.”

Sounds like Kirby Smith stole Pete's girl...

Kirby Smith Hall has closed and reopened before. For instance, it was in operation in fall 2019 and closed the following spring.

It first closed in 2006, but when housing demand grew on campus, it underwent a $1.7 million renovation and was reopened in 2011.

I didn't even realize it was still open. That place was a shithole back in 1997.

Is it a coincidence that this is announced a few days after it comes to light that Kirby Smith was only attracted to biological females?

Drove by it on the way home a few months ago and was surprised to see it was still standing. Even more surprised to hear they still put students in that dump.

So it was closed for my tenure at LSU. I had no idea that it had reopened, or was even still standing.
