Penn State Moving Forward with Major Renovations to Sackett Building, Hammond Demolition
The next project in Penn State's extensive College of Engineering master plan will involve major renovations to a historic core campus building and
The BOT was talking to that genius guy, um, Sam Bankman-Fried. They converted all the PSU endowment into crypto.
I'm pretty sure that this is not correct. I think long suspension bridge have to account for curvature, but not buildings that are about 1/10 of a mile long. They would be surveying elevation of each footing as the building was constructed, so there should be no error there. I don't see any way they could construct something with a gap after it was built. Buildings are constructed incrementally, so any small offsets along the way would be compensated for during construction.
Itās probably not true. But Iāve always remembered the story.
After I graduated 20+ years ago with an aero degree, I got a call from someone asking how to improve the program. "I told them to remove Hammond Building!" I'm glad they took my advice.
I think the thing I hated most about Hammond was the fact that there were a couple of floors that you could not traverse from one end of the building to the other.
Son1 is right. Heck it was "about time" in 1981.
LMAO. I had Architect roommates and friends that had labs in Hammond. I was supposed to meet them and then we were going to go to either Train Station or Post House and I couldn't figure out how to get to their lab room once I was inside.
I was, Beam, North Halls. But was gone by '87.
Think schreyer bro. Feels good manI canāt wait to see what all these improvements to the engineering department will do to our academictankingsrankings.
Was she in Beam Hall then? The first and 2nd floor were the Arts and Architecture interest house and was Co-Ed. 3rd and 4th floor were all male.
Professors make shiite up all the time to make themselves sound like experts so the students believe them.
However, I am going to go on a scavenger hunt to see if I can find this "gap" or not. I know there is an walkway underpass that goes thru about the center of the building so I will start near there. I live in these parts so will take a looksie some day to see what I can find. 
It is likely an expansion joint. Larger buildings have expansion joints every 300-500 feet, to allow for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. If I recall, the one design flaw of Hammond was the corridor fire doors appropriately meant to contain fire spread, yet the classrooms had doors leading to the corridor, in the front and rear of the room, that were on either side of the fire doors and always left open.Professors make shiite up all the time to make themselves sound like experts so the students believe them.
Donāt think so, she was in the north art studios working on her art
What I had heard about Hammond (iirc from a friend in Architectural Engineering) was that it was intended to be a taller building, not as long, but they discovered issues concerning the foundation (sinkholes?) And had to reduce the height.
