@eileen: The last JesRes building was built in 1904, so it probably predates asbestos as an insulant. Just as likely, there are structural issues that no one wants to pay for.

When will the University learn to just ask for what it wants, and then fight for it?

@DCite I *think* it’s that the old Jes-res is biologically hazardous and would require a significant amount of work to fix up, plus it’s probably historical and would therefore require even more red tape to renovate. I know I read an article about this in one of the campus papers a few years ago (maybe ’09?), but I have no idea where it is.
