Agreed with your earlier post, Mike, about the differences between Europeans and Americans in attitudes toward building preservation. I don't agree, though, on Ewing. It's stain glass windows were priceless, and are now preserved in a museum, but they looked much better in their original location. The fire hazard you mentioned could have been remedied without the need to tear down a building named after our most famous early graduate and foster father of General W. T.

I recall only that basement auditorium and the building's yellow brick exterior. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top Kinggeorge4 General User Member Since: 12/22/2004 Location: Guysville, OH Post Count: 850 Status: Offline     RE: Goodbye Scott Quad...    Posted: 1/28/2022 7:52:16 AM  Cellis033 wrote: Recovering Journalist wrote: This makes me sad about the state of the university but also on a personal level. I was an RA in Scott Quad for two years. It was at the time the smallest dorm on campus (88 residents, I think). Quiet study and upperclass when I was there. It attracted a lot of international students, and I made friends from around the world that I still keep in touch with to this day. I guess the newer dorms are what kids want now, but it's hard to imagine something made more solidly than that building. I agree with a lot of the comments on our disposable culture and unwillingness to put a little effort into saving things worth saving. I hope they can find a way to repurpose it. I've heard from kids that last roomed there in 2019, that Scott Quad had a bad mold problem to the extent that mold would actually form on their walls after being carried through the HVAC system. Maintenance apparently would just come and scrape the mold off the walls. One of my gf's closest friends roomed there then and had to deal with a bad sinus infection most likely due to the mold. The mold problem was why the departments in there moved. The building was going to need some serious renovation to correct that problem along with others. They have been battling these issues for years.

Maybe not tear it down, but higher-ups within the cubs threatened for years to move out of wrigley field. Found a NYDailyNews story quoting their (then?) owner Tom Ricketts discussing it in 2013. Could it have been posturing related to negotiations for renovations and a cut of the bleacher money? Of course. But it was discussed Back to Top stub General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Post Count: 911 Status: Offline     RE: Goodbye Scott Quad...    Posted: 1/28/2022 6:13:31 PM  Aren't the stain glass windows lining Walter Hall from Ewing?

Make it into a walk through sculpture garden or something at least.

I took a stroll up to Scott Quad yesterday and I have to say, I hope they keep that courtyard. One of the more peaceful parts of campus! Unfortunately some of the brick paths in the courtyard are starting to get ripped up and bricks stolen. Chase OU Engineering Technology and Management '24 O-Zone Leader Bringing the noise!
