“One could let all these facts and things lie alongside each other like laminations, not like growing cells. This laminated knowledge produced a powerful sense of freedom, truthfulness and even selflessness, [...] She sensed that the idea of lamination could provide both a model of conduct and an aesthetic that might suit herself and prove fruitful. It would, she decided, as in the event it did, take years to work out in the implications” (209-210). A. S. Byatt, The Virgin in the Garden

R.I.P. it lives on now in your memories.
oh my! why'd they do that?
It was chock full of asbestos and other bad chemicals. Also, the ground underneath the dorm was shifting. The last year I lived there, which was five years ago, they had to add braces on the front and back of the building to keep it together. [And it was one of the better dorms.] Also, the university just wants to get rid of all of the dorms to charge people to use the expensive apartments.
