Photos of New Dorms

Yeah, when I was on the 7th floor, I built a loft that was so tall that I didn't have to duck when I put my desk underneath.

And I apologize in advance, I realize the furniture in the Towers was bolted in place, but you could move the stuff around in Mahoney-Pearson-Eaton (starting with the late-1980s renovations).

**** OCC...
Mahoney had your bunk ( bed) a desk, chair, wall light, and a center shelf area with a miniature closet....not much space either to move stuff around.....luckily for me I had the full room because my roommate had a change of heart and flew home........ so the Mahoney room was all mine......
Loved it because I moved stuff in.......and it was comfortable....always thought the 7 th floor was the place to be though, while at the "Big M" as we called it...
Parking spaces were a pain in the a** so I had to park my XKE convertible in the Pearson lot and worry like **** that anyone even touched it..........had a couple of cuties keep an eye on it from their rooms at Pearson....and had no problems at any time......
Those were the days.........

Rumor is that’s not the only thing the 7th floor was good for….

If your girl only knew...

7th Floor Pearson 90-92. Good times. That vent in the bathroom was very useful at times (wink, wink).

Truly appreciate the pictures, sir. I'd imagine they need a bit more time to remove debris and any underground pipes and wiring, then they can get started on the new construction.

Exciting times!

The easy part of construction is the exterior frame.
