The dormitory’s nine identical residential floors would be organized into eight “houses” with eight “suites” (shown here) with eight bedrooms.

Go to your windowless cell and like it.

Sounds like Agenda 21 housing.

Did he get the idea from the inside cabins on a cruise ship?

Windowless? Might cut down on suicides during finals.

Architecture in general has seen a world of hurt since the dawn of the 21st Century, at least. Boxy, drab, cheap, and unoriginal must be the goal.

Can you imagine the line in the morning to use the one toilet.

More social engineering by the elite. You wanna coax residents into the common areas? Put out some donuts.

Seems like something the Sovs would have designed.

UCSB, on the coast just west of Santa Barbara, Calif. has one of the most scenic locations of any university in the world—yet they are not going to provide windows.

I would point out that the number of day light hours a kid is in their dorm room is rather small. Each kid is getting their own room. And the interior space is much larger. We got windows. But they meant the room was way to hot in summer and way to cold in winter. It also meant that we only had narrow hallways to gather in with one common room that could not handle all of us.

Students will either like them or hate them. Most of the dorm rooms my children had were dreadful. Often they were over stuffed little rooms with nothing but cinder block walls and no circulating air. Just call these dorms Japanese Modern and everyone will think they are cool.

Preparation for the high-rise containment facilities they plan on herding the rest of us into once they make the suburbs uninhabitable with their "equity" edicts.

Waiting for the toilet?

That’s why there’s no windows.

This Yang creature has overseen the destruction of any semblance of grace and beauty on the campus and is evidently striving to turn the campus into a gulag. Oh, and by the by, this 'plan' flies in the face of any shred of these leftists' pretend concern over virus or other disease sharing.
