UPEI— UPEI President Abd-El-Aziz formally opened the new nursing building Thursday, just hours before the building was set to be demolished in favour of a more modern nursing building.
“This building was at the forefront of the field, breaking boundaries and raising new standards of nursing. Well, it was until September, so we’re going to give you a new one.”
Scores of nursing and neglected food and nutrition students were shocked at the announcement, but remained hopeful that this newer building will be completed before they graduate.
The building, never actually named, was open for a twenty minute tour in which students could marvel at the wonderfully crafted classrooms, brimming with the almost cutting edge of technology. The bold building was trimmed with glass and red brick, the sun shimmering through the glass at just the correct angle to pass through the vitreous humor, arouse the optic nerve and bring more than one nursing student to openly weep.
The tour was ended by construction workers holding sledgehammers. The demolition began with a moving fragment poem spoken by one of the workers.
“Let’s bring this bitch down.”
When asked why UPEI would open and close a building, seemingly just to taunt the students, Mrs. Florence Hunter, building administrator for the new new nursing building, made harsh eye contact before saying: “The students must always remember, the good university giveth, and the good university taketh away.”
