Are you sure about that date. My son graduated Wayne Law in 2014 and I'm pretty sure it was that building [[across from the parking garage). You can still see the DeRoy housing building [[the brown tower) and that was demolished in 2015 or 16.

WSU Class of 2013. That building was there at least since 2008. Used to park @ Palmer structure and walk through the entrance. That lobby always smelled like elephant piss -- reminded me of the days of seeing Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus at the State Fairgrounds. PU!!

Yeah you're right, it probably was built closer to 2005. The cat pee smell comes from an adhesive used to glue carpet or laminate tiles down to the floor. When UGL first opened the entire building reeked of the stuff for months. If it still smelled in 2008, they probably had to replace a bad batch of flooring.
