Rather than make a new
metanode, I thought
noders would be better served if
this
wu was in the existing
University of Connecticut node. This is a
work
in progress, as I add
nodes at a rate of a few a day. Some of the
nodes,
namely the ones on
residence halls, and who they're named after, will take a
little longer, but it should all be up here in a
relatively short amount of
time. Feel free to /msg me with additions, but please realize that this isn't
meant to replace the
general catalog. I suppose I could just type that
verbatum,
but that'd be beyond the intented
scope of this
wu. This
node, at least
for now, is meant to be a who's who, and what's where for the
University of Connecticut.
The names and abbreviations of the buildings, both administrative and educational,
residence hall names and history, and a few other things. More will be added
as I discover new things, or as I notice errors/omissions. So, without further
ado:

Other Stuff:
- Steam Tunnels: The only ones I've actually seen are those below North
Campus (the Jungle), but I'm sure there must be others. I hope to have
more info on the tunnels...maps, access areas, photos. There are also other
tunnels, where fiber lines cross campus, as well as other networking stuff
(OC3 trunks), but these are accessed regularly, and aren't nearly as interesting
as the steam tunnels.
- The Holcomb Ghost: There is supposedly a ghost in the attic of Holcomb
(see Holcomb Hall), but I have yet to see her. Then again, I am notoriously
impatient with the undead, so you never know...besides..it's an all girls
dorm, so the RAs get suspicious if you kind of lurk around in dark corners,
and as Holcomb is next to Whitney Hall, the new engineering dorm, RAs
can be touchy as engineers have been know to play some pranks...
