Present Day
Although Shreve hall was built with student opinions and to offer the best of every residence hall already located at Purdue modern day; Shreve has many new things to offer residents. Each stag lounge houses a plasma TV, several tables with chairs, and a few couches. The recreational lounge plays home to two billiard tables, two ping pong tables, an air-hockey table, a foosball table, and a big screen TV with several couches. The formal lobby has several over-sized chairs as well as several couches. The formal lounge also contains a piano. The once was dining court is now uninhabited and the dining room now serves as a quiet study lounge. The lobby, the basement laundry room, and lounges have the only wireless internet in the building.
The days of bunk beds have long since been replaced; today most students loft their beds to utilize space more adequately. Other changes that have taken place since Shreve’s opening in 1970 are the depletion of study rooms on every floor and the changing of kitchenettes to only the even floors. The drip-dry rooms have recently been converted to temporary housing until other rooms become available.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“Giving presents is a talent; to know what a person wants, to know when and how to get it, to give it lovingly and well. Unless a character possesses this talent there is no moment more annihilating to ease than that in which a present is received and given.”
—Pamela Glenconner (1871–1928)
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that follow’d,
And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
