What we are leaving behind...

You've read a lot on here about our amazing new campus residence hall - Enns Hall.  We built Enns for many reasons.  Here are a few - a desire to have all our residence halls "on campus" rather than a 20 minute walk from campus, our lease for the Karklu dorm expires in early November, and Karklu is falling into disrepair.  It is a very old building that served us well, but it was time to upgrade!  Here are some photos I took this week as I was making a final round through the building looking for items that we might put to good use on campus.  Compare the state of this room compared to what you see in a typical dorm room in the states...

Notice the desk is warping and peeling away on the front right corner and the saggy (and stained) mattress.  The photo isn't really close enough to show the general state of exhaustion that the furniture shows.

Notice the warped flooring in this room.

This is the sink area - notice the stained floor, exposed and leaking water fixtures, and generally sad feeling of the area.
