Why are many dormitories in 985 University so shabby?

The reasons why the 985 university dormitory was broken are as follows:

The 985 famous schools are basically old and strong schools, and most of them have already had a considerable campus scale in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

A large part of the infrastructure of these schools was built after the adjustment of the departments of 1952. Take Nanjing University as an example. From 1952 to 1953, Nantah has successively built five student dormitories, three staff dormitories and 1 canteen in Nanyuan. These buildings have been used for a long time.

In the adjustment of departments, universities in China transformed the university system built by Britain and the United States during the Republic of China into a Soviet-style university system, which of course also included the imitation of the Soviet "tubular architecture".

As a top university, the "Dongfeng" building in the dormitory of China Renmin University is the product of Soviet-style tubular architecture. Because of its poor accommodation environment, it is called "straight answer" among students, and it has been gradually replaced in recent years.

The red building of Renmin University was built in 195 1. After the large-scale enrollment expansion, the red 1, 2 nd and 3 rd floors were used as student dormitories, which are still in use today. Although the Red Chamber is not as shabby as Direct Answer, it can also make students feel a strong sense of the times in their accommodation.

In those tube-shaped buildings, there is only one public toilet and water room on the whole floor, and there are often unforgettable scenes of dozens of people "grabbing toilets" at peak hours. Six rooms and eight rooms are common. The original intention of this plan is to ensure that colleges and universities can have a main area where teachers and students gather on campus, which is convenient for management and can guarantee the basic accommodation conditions of college students to the greatest extent.

This efficient and practical tubular building really played an important role. However, with the development of the times, various problems such as insufficient lighting, aging, lack of facilities such as toilets and water rooms began to appear. Colleges and universities once wanted to make changes.

Starting from 1998, the relevant departments hope to complete the transformation task before the end of 1999, and "never bring the cylindrical buildings of colleges and universities into the 2 1 century". In 2000, Guangming Daily also published an article "Farewell! The article "Building Management in Colleges and Universities" uses "old, dark, narrow, dirty and messy" to describe such accommodation conditions. However, the dormitory of the old apartment building has never been pushed down as expected.

After the expansion of university enrollment, more and more college students poured into colleges and universities, and the problem of housing shortage became more and more prominent: 1998, the per capita housing area of undergraduates was still 13 square meters, which decreased by nearly 30% after three years. In some schools, the average teaching and administrative area per student is less than 5 square meters, far below the national standard.

In this case, it is not easy for some people to live, so it is obviously unrealistic to tear down the building and rebuild it. As a result, many old dormitory buildings have been used to this day. There is an old joke circulating on the Internet. It is said that during the celebration of Sichuan University 120, a Huaxi alumnus visited Huaxi Campus, and an 80-year-old man stood in front of the dormitory and shouted excitedly: "Yes! The dormitory sixty years ago was like this! "
