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.
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!
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?”
