    A little clarification for those of you who didn’t attend Texas A&M, this the Memorial Student Center – very much the center of life on campus at A&M. A few weeks ago, it closed for a three-year renovation project and The Boy and I stopped by to get some pictures before they tore everything up.

    I can’t begin to describe how wonderfully eclectic and unique the interior of this building was. I don’t know what’ll look like when they’re done remodeling it in 2012, but I know it won’t be the same.

    Many more pictures available on my Flickr account.

    thanks for the photos, its tough to see something you have such memories for be renovated, or worse torn down…..3 years – they must be doing some serious changes to it!

    Ok, now I am really sad. Yes, DEPRESSED like nonsoccermom. UGH! Good pictures though…

    I didn’t spend a lot of time there or anything, but man, the post office one I think is the saddest one.

    I had heard of the demo project but never really thought about it until now. It’s sad to see the MSC in the pictures you posted. I remember it full of life, I think the antiquity of the building is what gave it character. As they say out with the old & in with the new. I have mixed feelings about this. I would love for my daughters to attend A&M and experience what I did. I describe the “old” A&M, the way I remember it. I’m afraid if and when they attend they’ll be like, “What was dad talking about?”
