The iconic Louis Kahn dorm was recently designated a significant historic site.

The fabulous windows in my room. Lofty acoustics in the central entrance area. Good times at the ‘special dinners’ with my friends.

I remember the visiting architecture students wandering through there with stars in their eyes, gushing “what is it like to live here?” Now, as an architect myself, I can 100 percent appreciate their awe. While I loved living there my freshman and sophomore years, now knowing his full body of work it’s beyond cool that I got to spend some years there.

I toured the campus with my mom my senior year in high school—in the fall of ’66. When our student guide took us into Erdman, my mom asked her when they expected to finish it! (It had been completed a year or two before that and had students living there.)

As an Erd4Lyfer, every moment was a good memory....but nothing really beats being able to go to the dining hall in pajamas during snow days while everyone else is in four layers of winter clothing.
