McCormick Demolition

[StillAWarrior]

Does anyone have information on when the Beer Can is coming down?  Will it still be there when I visit in September?  Any information on method of demolition?

Not until they start building what is going there instead - which is the new Student Wellness Center - and to my knowledge, there is not a date for that set yet. In the meantime, there will be a few offices set up in there so doesn't count as a "vacant building", which would run MU afoul of some city ordinances.

It will certainly be there in September, and demolition (whenever it happens) will be an orderly floor-by-floor takedown, per Father Wild.

It's too bad that can't just crush it from the top like a big beer can.

Or have a giant claw squeeze it in the middle.

Or smash it against the forehead of Theodore Roosevelt on Mt. Rushmore.

It's our understanding that the 7 figure demolition cost is a component of the Health & Wellness Center funding budget.  So as chick mentioned, MU has found a creative way to maintain McCormick as an operating facility utilizing various offices etc. for an indefinite time period.  That way, the facility doesn't run afoul with 'vacant building' municipal laws during this interim period.

We have no specific info about potential funding for Health & Wellness but understand that the Athletic Performance Center, the Physician Assistant program facility and possibly the multi-disciplinary Life Sciences project are higher priorities on the current timeline.

so the beer can will stand, empty save for a few offices? 

They should open the building up for paintball or some other kind of game.

Should charge alums $1000 for one last night in their room.  Light up the dorm store and ice cream machine.  You could set it up as a fantasy camp where you try to sneak a date in/up, put leaners on the RA's door, bottomless wopatuis (ending with red puke in the shower), shoot fireworks from your window, TV Lounge beer pong and keggers, ganja bongs in the basketball alums rooms, ride the elevator nude, break into the supply closet and steal all the jumbo roll tissue and pimp the other floors, and then have the Dorm Director put you on double secret probation.

And then on Monday we go back to our jobs as CEOs and Govenors all satiated in our desire for the good old days!
