SN at OU is a p.o.s.

A few years back, there was a bad fire in one of the rooms. It completely gutted the room. The adjacent rooms were untouched. The place is concrete and steel. I guess we had some alums in the construction industry when the place was built.

Where I own an old chapter house in a place that doesn't require me to have sprinklers, I think that my $40-$60K will be spent elsewhere if I'm given the option. I don't imagine the savings on insurance can justify the addition of sprinklers altogether.

And if there is a fire and there are no sprinklers? That's why there's insurance.
