Residence halls with electric heat... WTF?????

In the late 70s & early 80's electric heat was all the rage. By the late 80's people wanted nothing to do with it, and it was being ripped out.

I'm kind of amazed (and kind of not amazed) that the college didn't retrofit these buildings.

Owls nests were supposed to be torn down 10 years ago since they are so run down and falling apart so they had no intention of retrofitting them. Carle on the other hand was renovated 4-5 years ago but looks like it’s straight out of the 80s still. If you know what the backrooms are Carle looks like that inside. Carle keeps getting flooded by sprinkler systems and ruining hallways after hallways and peoples rooms. I have no idea why Carle still has electric heat.

Just curious… did they kept the waffle ceilings?

Waffle ceilings are still there and have never been better.

Some of the best times I don’t remember happened in 2C
Carle is legendary. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

I am guessing then that those dorms will be ripped down soon. KSC built a ton of new ones on the South side of campus, and enrollment has plummeted.
Burger-King-Covid OP t1_j6uyl2z wrote
They are tearing down monadnock and Randall so owls nests and Carle hall are now needed. Any spare doubles that are not filled get converted into super singles and you get 2 of everything and a king size bed.

So, what is going where Monadnock and Randall are then? Or are they selling the land?
Burger-King-Covid OP t1_j6uzv1b wrote
Some other college bought it and is building their campus there

Public school, hospitals, office parks all have electric heat of some variety…. Take it easy.

That's gotta be expensive.

Better yet, some of those heaters are installed on the ceiling!

The student apartments state have the same, baseboard radiators.

Yeah when those buildings lose power in the winter it gets very cold in them.
