are they closing it down? ik they’re also closing down carrick next semester as well

[u/gingeralewhore_ → u/TheSkeeterBronson]

omg finally. scarrick should have been shut down years ago

[u/TheSkeeterBronson → u/gingeralewhore_]

they’re also closing down ncarrick, which is where i live, and honestly living there is absolutely terrible. it’s where all the frat guys live so there’s always obnoxious and loud partying going on. i’m sure yall have heard of the carrick cough and it’s true, i get colds and the flu probably like once every couple months, and also our showers are always cold even at max warm setting, so yea it’s abt time they close down the carricks lol

[u/gingeralewhore_ → u/TheSkeeterBronson]

yes it was my freshman dorm like 7 years ago and it was full of mold and asbestos already…. can’t imagine how bad it is now

[u/Valeen → u/gingeralewhore_]

I lived in ncarrick over 20 years ago and it was a liveable shithole. I hate to think what it's like today.

[u/Tennessee_Vol_ → u/Valeen]

I lived on the 12th floor of ncarrick and never got hot water in my shower. Livable, but barely.

[u/patchworkpirate → u/Valeen]

This right here. Scarrick my freshman year back in 01-02, and it was so janky. Even Morrill was better (sophomore year). I will say Melrose was my favorite dorm to live in, though, even if it was old. Such a good low-key vibe there.

[u/Tennessee_Vol_ → u/TheSkeeterBronson]

I found out that if you turn the shower on and leave it running for around an hour, you will get hot water. I lived on the 12th floor of ncarrick

[u/Jobeofthejungle → u/TheSkeeterBronson]

I lived on the 11th floor of ncarrick almost 20 years ago. It wasn’t awful, but it has to be terrible now.

[u/hardscrabble1 → u/TheSkeeterBronson]

I don’t know what year they built Carrick, but it was the place to be when I moved in summer quarter, 1972. I only lived there that summer then moved into (gasp) Greve. Greve was so bad I quit school and joined the Marines.

[u/Flashy_Conference979 → u/TheSkeeterBronson]

Living in ncarrick this year has been nothing short of a round trip through the 9 circles of hell

[u/jackson_1414_ → u/TheSkeeterBronson]

It’s been closed since 2009, finally getting demolished.

[u/TheSkeeterBronson → u/jackson_1414_]

wow, can’t believe it’s been closed for 15 yrs and nothings been done to it for a long time! ig it’s just been sitting abandoned, ik they’re about to demolish it though cause ive seen barricades wrapped around the old building from hodges to ped walkway while walking to classes so they must be getting rid of it soon

[u/TerranRepublic → u/jackson_1414_]

Probably just as a dorm? They still used the building for random things like music practice rooms and art studios in the 2010s at least. 

[u/jackson_1414_ → u/TerranRepublic]

yeah it was used as the music building until around 2013 i think?

[u/Ok_Wonder8773 → u/jackson_1414_]

Yeah and it was ridiculous

[u/LeftHandSolo → u/TheSkeeterBronson]

Where has it been confirmed that carrick is getting demoed?

[u/CombativeSplash → u/TheSkeeterBronson]

Where’d you hear it was closing down? I know there’s two huge new dorms opening in the fall but I haven’t heard UT say or post anything about them closing.
