Holes Hall was home to tens of thousands of St. Cloud State students. Its small rooms, modest amenities and large, common bathrooms no longer appeal to young people. University leaders, Minnesota State officials and construction consultants deemed it cost-prohibitive to remodel.
The building was demolished in June. Concrete, steel and other demolition debris has been hauled away for recycling. New Ulm Steel & Recycling is one of the recycling contractors. Workers are now preparing the site for seeding.
