You mean the students wouldn't have to worry about collapsing stairways?

UK in negotiations to move fine arts college to University Lofts building

Basically they're talking about moving the faculty and studio spaces from the Reynolds Building, an old tobacco warehouse that had all sorts of things wrong with it that had never really be completely renovated, to another former warehouse on Bolivar that had been turned into loft apartments. This was where there used to be retail shops and Lazer Quest. If the sale goes through, it would still be cheaper to buy and renovate the apartments into studios than renovate the Reynolds Building. It is also closer to the main campus.

I've been in both buildings. There are a lot of things wrong with the Reynolds Building. One year a stairway collapsed with people on it, for example. A friend spent much of his undergraduate time there and I visited, and it was just amazing to me how art studio students were apparently the red-headed stepchildren of the university. So it's nice that they may be getting a facility worthy of them. The Reynolds Building would be converted to storage.
