Moreover, demolition showed us that the the DeVille's column spacing was far more generous than represented by the Archdiocese. The photograph above shows that the columns on the wings were located only on the sides of the concrete floor plates. Once the partitions were removed, we all saw wide open floors that could be configured any way a developer wished.

San Luis Column Spacing, Partitions Were Not Limiting

I can't even pass by this building without fuming in disgust. These "undevelopers" as I call talk down to us as if we're stupid, and they have the nerve to post a sign that says "Campus Improvements Coming Soon." The San Luis is not obsolete- its undevelopers are.
I'm not even sure I know what 'creating a campus' means.
But it sure would have been nice to have seen the voids in the concrete joists/slabs exposed. Cool look.
