$1.7 million wouldn’t get the smell out of the elevators.

I honestly thought they already demolished it. Haven't been to that area of campus in a few years, but I would have bet they did this 2-3 years ago.

Just wait I bet they offer Kirby as housing for the illegals at the border. If there is a nuclear war of comet impact I am hurrying my arse ti Kirby because that place has survived it all.

9th floor 1985. Our suitemates were never there. Like having a private bathroom. Honestly, the only thing I ended up not liking was location-I had not thought that through.

Thank god, that place is worse than hell

I was assigned to Kirby shite and went up the piss-smelled elevator and told my old man "nope nope nope" so got a room at Graham instead

The walk to the Pentagon cafeteria was 100'.

3 buffet style meals a day and free sandwiches to take back to the room

It's why I chose it

Closing at 7 and not being open on weekends (or at least weekend nights iirc) was a mother fricker though.

I'd call the shuttle to take me over there because they always had fried chicken.

Hold on there! Doesn't Buyden (PedoJoe) need a place for his illegal immigrant children to be housed at?

Buildings planned for demo. Let’s see when it actually happens

KIrby Smith
Middleton
Lockett

All three were built cheaply and never matched the architectural style of campus. Good Riddance

They'll have to use a tactical nuke to take down Kirby Smith. All of the jizz and vomit layered on the floors and walls make the building impervious to mere conventional munitions.

I hated going to class in any room that was in the basement. People were packed in like sardines between classes.
