The exterior is still very nice, but the inside is a bit rough. It is rumoured that the geology department that occupies it now will be moved into a refurbished Essex Hall in a few years and Memorial will be renovated and turned into office space. Thats not confirmed but one of many rumours circulating on campus now that engineering is in the process of moving into its new building.
When is engineering moving out of Essex Hall? That's going to free up a lot of space. I spent a good chunk of my time in the Chemistry and Biochemistry department in the latter half of the 1990's.
The new engineering building at California and Wyandotte ( across from the Harveys) is partially completed, some staff and equipment have already moved the rest should be in before the end of the year. Drama is already grabbing some of the space that has been freed up in the basement of Essex Hall. There is an internal debate going on whether they are going to renovate the Engineering side of Essex hall ( the side closest to Wyandotte) or tear it down and build a new wing, apparently it will cost almost as much to renovate for use by science departments as to build it new.
