HALIFAX, NS—This past Sunday, a fire broke out in the biology wing of the Life Sciences Centre. Today it opens back up to students… but what if it didn’t? What if the entire building was sent to the seventh circle of hell where it belongs?
The LSC is home to a handful of science departments, as well as a greenhouse, rooftop study space, the good Tim Hortons, the touch tanks, and a place that sells decent sweet potato fries.
It is also a brutalist maze invented to imprison science students, with windowless subterranean classrooms, winding halls, and a museum filled with haunted taxidermy. Many students get lost in its dark, damp halls on a daily basis.
The nightmarish tunnels of the LSC are the perfect place on campus to spot live cockroaches or survive nuclear fallout, but a miserable place to learn.
It’s not too late Dalhousie, just cancel classes in the LSC forever.
