The Irving Tx building
« on: April 29, 2005, 02:08:00 PM »
I went and saw the old Irving building yesterday on my lunchbreak. I wanted to tell how it looks now...

I went over there, I work about 15 minutes away, on my lunchbreak and drove around the building a few times. Then I realized that I really had to go inside so I went in and asked as nicely as I could if I could please use the restroom. I was wearing my work clothes too so I knew I looked sort of business like. It's now some sort of a software/graphics place. So, the lady at the front desk looked like she really didn't want to but she did let me go back, she walked me back to the restroon. Well, the whole place has been remodeled, and it's almost all purple. The only thing, I think, that was the same was the inside of the bathroom, which is where I went. The place was full of people walking around and talking, and everyone seemed very energized. And it was all purple with some yellow I think. I couldn't tell exactly where the group room had gone, it may have been behind the area I was in, I couldn't tell. But all of those hallways were completely gone. It was mostly open space with a bunch of small cubicles in the middle, surrounded by offices along the back walls. Now I have this lively place that's full of COLOR to replace the memory I have of that white, white building. With blue carpet and blue plastic chairs.

I remember those hallways.  I think when you went in the front entrance, if you went left it took you to the group room, staff lunch room, phaser closet, clothes search, one restroom and the nurses "clinic".  On the right was the executive offices.  If I sat for a minute and thought it out, I could draw a map of the whole place. *shudder*

Its so weird, but I bet if I was to see it today, and if it were unchanged from back then.....it would probably look so much smaller....and those hallways look so much shorter.  I just remember them as being so LONG.  And the building being so HUGE.  I guess thats how you perceive a place when it becomes your prison.

Yeah I was having a hard time figuring out if the group room was part of what I was looking at, or if it would have to be behind it. But the group room was really huge (it had 150 kids that maybe took up half of it), so I assume there was some more offices or something in the back area. But I remember the hallways too. Oh and they had a new waterfountain.

A lot of magic took place within those walls...
