Just curious, what years? Early 2000's here and stokes was bad then. Had friends with double rooms ( walls torn down between 2 original rooms) in Mccollogh and Voorhies that were much nicer, but those got blown up while I was still a student

85 here my favorite rooms were in the dorm closest to girard park. Old as hell with jalice window but the rooms were huge

I was lucky enough that I didnt have a roomate in stokes so it was a little better

A couple of recent pics: the liner building is going up pretty slowly, if you ask me. But I was really taken a-back on how big the garage is looking: it looks big even from the St Mary/Girard Pk dr intersection...

Came across some renderings of the garage. First view I've seen of the 'liner building' which will house lab space for the Engineering/Architecture folks. I like the look...

They are about half way finished with the erection of the prefabricated prestressed concrete elements. Looks like they wanted to finish the erection against Rougeou Hall so they could open the sidewalk.


This photo is taken from behind Madison Hall. Rougeou Hall is to the left. Soon to be demolished Stokes A and B is to the right just peeking out from the new parking garage structure.

This parking garage will be huge. Photographs do not do it justice.

Brought my son and my folks to campus yesterday. Dad attended in 69/70 and couldn't get over how much the campus has changed. I told him I can't believe it either and I finished in 2010. (13 yr plan)

And yes, if you haven't seen the new tower...it's huge

What is the plan for the space after Stokes dorms get demo'd?

The Master plan has it as eventually 'upperclassmen/graduate' dorm space. But I think Helmut said it would be parking in the interim.

They should have raffled off tickets to "nuke" Stokes to old residents of that prison....I mean dorm.
I lived in McC. Thank God it was destroyed along time ago!
