Rose Towers to come tumbling down

[Jamos]

Rose Towers is now notjing more than a pile of rubble and a big cloud of dust. It took 10 seconds or less for the building to come down but it took months for it to be built.

It was built after I graduated,

Makes me feel kind of out of date.

Does 43 years make this an "aging" building?

I though the same OT, but if you have seen some of the new dorms that are going up on campus now, they make Rose look like they were built in the Stone Ages.

I think the problem with these older buildings has everything to do with them being out-of- date for certain modern needs and concepts. They probably did not have fiber optic cable, were not energy efficient, had limited bathroom facilities, no wi-fi, and the cost of maintaining them had become prohibitive and the cost of updating them would cost more than a new building. I have seen this in a lot of buildings that have been demolished due to the onset of so much technology and energy concerns.

I lived in Rose in the early 80s.  We often had the fire alarm go off when someone put a burning item (cigs?) down the garbage chute.
