Shit

A space that came to mind is the basement in the Dakin residences. The basement is filled with abandoned student spaces(spiritual life center), controls of heating and plumbing, and some trash. On the other side of the laundry area, there’s a room with a dumpster in it, and possibly a chute connecting it to the building above, followed by the expected artwork. Basements aren’t something you’d immediately associate waste with, unless you’re thinking of apartments and incinerators, so it was unique seeing that there. It’s interesting though, why is it there and closed off, where here at Hampshire waste isn’t something that’s being kept away from us. It’s in our bathrooms, common rooms, inside and outside academic buildings, dining commons, we’re even exposed to composted material. I’m curious what the purpose of that placement was for.
