Talk:Litchfield Towers

Nicknames
Does anyone actually call Tower A, B, and C by Ajax, Bab-O (or Bounty), and Comet? I've gone to Pitt for 3 years, and I've never head this. The source is almost 50 years old! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.49.26.240 (talk) 05:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I can tell you that I heard those names used with sort of joking disdain regarding their appearance in the 1990s (obviously well prior to Wikipedia), although they weren't commonly referred to as such in every day speech. Those names have been verified by the cited source back to 1963, so even if not commonly used in talking about them, those names certainly were part of a long standing history/culture of the towers.

Murder in the Basement Laundry Room
Does anyone have info on the early 1980s murder that occurred in the laundry room in the basement that facilitated the need for the current lobby laundry room and security system? --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 23:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

GA
Hello, I passed this article at GAC. It meets the criteria in my opinion. Two suggestions for further development: try to find more source material that is not from official University releases, and add another photo - maybe an interior view. Best of luck, DVD+ R/W 23:30, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Architect?

 * this would be good to add. Also, believe it or not, I think the design of the towers won several awards.  Those would be good to list as well.

This article is far better sourced than most dormitory articles I've seen. Well done! One thing that it is missing, however, is the name of the architect or firm that built these buildings. I think this would help to complete the article and perhaps enhance the subject's notability. Cheers, GentlemanGhost 18:12, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
