Is Scheele ever going to be used again?

I haven't heard any long-term plans. I know they used it as summer housing when they were renovating Brandt and that it being attached to Lank makes demolition a little more difficult. I think the strategic plan calls for both lank and scheele to be torn down and rebuilt after brant and alumni are fully renovated but I believe that is probably at least a decade away from happening.

What time of work was done at Brandt?  When was it done?  Curious because back in 2002 it was quite dated.

They pulled all of the beds and desks out of the walls and purchased new furniture. They also updated the plumbing I believe as well as changed window fixtures and redid all the lounge areas. I've heard it's been positively received by students who can now loft their beds to create more space.

Did they add air-conditioning?
