However, the destrcution of this place means more than "noise" to me. This is where I spent a lot of stressful but happy time with my friends in first and second year, where we always stayed to study until 11pm during the finals. Well, since all of them are having co-op now, only I am left to witness the happy memories being dragged down and buried in soil...

And when its all over.. is it ever going to be interesting! That Heritage (1925) core will still be there, the stones they stripped off the building (check out the second phot in the sequence) will be incorporated back into the new structure, and we will have an amazing facility that is part Library, part provincial resource. It will house all kinds of interesting groups together, UBC's innovative interdisciplinary programs (Science One, Arts One, etc.), TAG, OLT (that's us!)... If anyone is interested, check out the Ike Barber Learning Centre site - http://www.ikebarberlearningcentre.ubc.ca/. We are definitely living through an interesting period though. Still trying to figure out if we can get a seismometer in here.... Great pics, Brian!!!! Disturbing though it is, at least it’s not a random act of violence…
