After Christmas Break...
... over on the east of Steds? It looks like an explosion of some sort occurred... something more than a popcorn microwave accident, an accident that happens on a fairly regular basis at Steds. No, something else is going on here. What's going on is the demolition of Brownson Hall. A hall, constructed during Fr. Sorin's time, with a number of poorly constructed additions, housing a potpourri of University offices, succumb to its poor design, age, and neglect. In its place, a new extension of the Institute of Educational Initiatives will soon go up. On the new construction site, Fr. Ralph said, "It's really sad to see what we lovingly called 'Sorinville' go, but sadly, it was time. Really, it was. Matter of fact, Brownson's second floor was condemned for a number of years. On the bright side, they're saving all the old bricks... but what will they do with them?"
... before Christmas Break.
