Yep. It was one of the best buildings on campus when I took drownproofing. I was awed by the pool, shower and locker facilities. The gym had stuff that I had never seen before, much less used. I enjoyed working out there.
A number of years later -- after it had been decommissioned -- I revisited it. It was a dump. Sad.
Some of you may also recall that all those years when Bobby Dodd was kicking ass in the SEC, our locker and shower facilities under the east stands of Grant Field were pathetic. My old high school had comparable if not better facilities.
Classroom facilites? How many of you remember taking math in the Old Shop Building or buying books in the cellar of the Knowles Building? Who remembers the Robbery being beneath the Ad building, or the open air GT post office? Foggy remembers. Who else?
We've come a long way. A long way. And it wasn't cheap. Or easy.
The gym is on the right and adjoing it to the south is the indoor pool. The building to the west center of the stadium is the Knowles.
