Temporary Buildings MemoriesOn June 20, 2007, the last of the temporary buildings were removed from the KC main campus. Although the buildings were originally designed to stand for just a few years, they lasted over 40 years. To commemorate this historic moment, we invite you to share your memories of the temporary buildings. Come back to this site often and read what others have written. Remembering Our Past - Building Our Future I have many memories of the temporary buildings. I had classes in this buildings from 70 - 71. In the late 80's, I worked in the temp buildings. In the winter there would be frost about the baseboard inside the building on a really cold day. Mice loved to hide in the janitors vaccum. When he started it, the mice would run out. Then we had the mating raccoons under the floor. These are things I will never forget. Cheryl Cameron One of my fondest memories when working in the temps was the cat we had at the Dislocated Worker office. She was appropriately named KC and was a warm and loving addition to others in the office. People who had just lost their jobs would be in our office and KC would just sense their loss, their grief and the "what next" and promptly join them on the couch. She would purr and rub and sometimes sit beside them, just to let them know everything was going to be all right. She disappeared on long holiday weekend and those of us in the office and others that knew her grieved for a long time. She was just a very special cat. Jane M Stonecipher At the time the new campus buildings opened, there was a dress code for women. Attire was supposed to be that which would be appropriate for and office and NO SLACKS.The first 2 winters were bitter and the walk across the parking lot in a skirt was not pleasant to say the least. Women started "rebelling" and wearning slacks to class and were asked to leave. I was asked to leave the library because I had on a culotte type skirt. The female students staged a "protest" in the administration building and eventually slacks, not jeans, became acceptable. Sandy Cain I don't have any funny stories about the temporaries, but my son, who is now a sophomore at KC, attended the daycare center housed in the temporaries 16 years ago. That was when Carmen Yarborough ran the center and he loved going there. That was also when Jim Jackson was the girls softball coach and they sold popcorn everyday in the cafeteria. The girls softball team sort of adopted Lucas and somewhere I still have a sweatshirt they gave him that says "Property of the KC girls softball team". Debby Funderburk Submit a memory |
