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:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“For this is action, this is not being sure, this careless
Preparing, sowing the seeds crooked in the furrow,
Making ready to forget, and always coming back
To the mooring of starting out, that day so long ago.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
