What do you think of KU’s plans to raze McCollum Hall?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on October 11, 2012
“ I think that’s a good idea. I think it’s the least-nice hall on Daisy Hill.”
“ I think it’s a waste of our money. It seems like unnecessary construction. You don’t need to tear the thing down and build two new ones.”
“ Maybe it’s just a dungeon, but it could be repurposed. KU claims to be green, but that’s not green.”
“ It sucks in terms of living and the facility. Why not for the benefit of two new halls? The sacrifice is justified.”

Did't they just put a bunch of money into it?

It should be preserved as a shelter so all the kids who get useless degrees can live there instead of moving back with their parents when they can't find jobs.

Oh no...Where will they force international students who don't go home over winter break, to stay?
... contrary to popular belief and rumor mattresses are not changed from room to room but from dorm to dorm when they close, remodel...

I hope they do not raze it, it has too much history and makes for an interesting skyline along with the other dorms. Can't it be re-furbished cheaper? I will always recall seeing it lit up at night coming into town from 59 Highway as a beacon of Lawrence.

"...raze McCollum Hall?"
Just wait until the East Lawrence neighbors hear about this. You just know they will protest that it is already tall enough.

Isn't it in a historical district? It should be saved.
