Dormitory

Read! All of teh military buildings except the hospital, the morgue, and the administrations building, where destroyed spare a few. This building was built for the "school". They were built during a time when a kid would simply be disowned or sent away for being retarded. No one gave a care where they were or how comfortable they were. It was built for cheapness. "Whats the least we can spend; recycle an older facility and build prefab dorms. Who cares, the taxpayers don't care about the retarded." <that kind of mentality.

Tub

More than the graffiti i think it's disrespectful of the state to take a multi-million doallar facility and let it just sit and rot. The only real use of this place in the last 5 years and even 10 or so prior to 2002 is a playground for teenagers and a way for police to bust vandals. Yes the graffiti sucks, but there is some descent work elsewhere in the facility. Some graff can be legitamate art. But the tub is simply the man. Whoever thot you'd be able to get that out, guess again. You'll have to be carrying that thing, which is at least 200lbs across several acres covered by security, good luck. Don't think about bringing a truck into the faciity or you WILL get bagged by security.
