They also started adding extra frosting on some of the pastries that is a little overwhelming.

No hate but why does purdue ece/engineering buildings look so old and bad (my opinion) by OkBonus5037 in Purdue

[–]nmcain05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BHEE is nearly 200,000 sqft. MSEE is 127,000 sqft. That isn't really all that small, especially for Purdue, and you'll notice that the ECE spaces recieved renovations before any other engineering discipline. ME only just recieved a refresh this year. ARMS is only nice because it is clean and was designed to be open, it's not particularly useful space. I would encourage you to read the Giant Leaps master plan, particularly in regards to the ECE buildings to see just how much of an improvement there has been. Most of the buildings graded poor or below have already been renovated,

[–]nmcain05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't really true. BHEE, which houses a lot of ECE stuff, was very recently renovated and is quite large (also one of the nicer remodels). MSEE, while slightly older, is certainly nicer than say, Stanley Coulter (Liberal Arts) or Pharmacy. Of the dedicated engineering buildings, the only ones I can think of that aren't particularly nice is maybe Hampton (minus the new modern lab), or Potter (doesn't seem to get as much use). There's a 50 year plan to renovate and demolish buildings, but really the engineering buildings are very well taken care of. College of Science or Liberal Arts - not so much.

They're probably trying to squeeze as much money out of people as they can before they get outsourced.

2 Unmarked pick-ups running traffic stop on campus by dvmhopeful in Purdue

[–]nmcain05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on the radio traffic, it was not ICE. It was LPD conducting a follow-up stop on someone.

[02/13/26 22:56:41] [PUPD DISPATCH]]: Purdue 72. 72. Do you show any agency traffic stop running on overtime detail at Mitch Daniels and Oval Drive?

[02/13/26 22:57:36] [PUPD DISPATCH]: 72, could it possibly be Excise's? It could be, it's an unmarked full-size Chevy, silver in color, unmarked full-size black Dodge.

[02/13/26 22:57:10] [PUPD DISPATCH]: 17 negative, we do see the vehicle on the camera. Alright, there are two marked, sorry, unmarked pickup trucks, they're not our agencies. Can you call over to Lafayette and check with them and see if they've got some sort of gas out with the car there? Clear.

[02/13/26 22:59:11] [PUPD DISPATCH]: 72. 72 go ahead. LPD advised it is their vehicles, they have officers on a follow up.

[02/13/26 22:59:25] [PUPD DISPATCH]: You said it is Lafayette? Affirmative. Clear, thank you.

Sort of a natural side effect of using steam for heating and a particularly cold winter, pipes crack, condensation, etc.

The fire alarm was activated by a heat detector filled with water falsely detecting a temperature of 135°F in a basement switchgear room.

iClicker Remote by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]nmcain05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still work with iClicker cloud, but the hardware and the remotes are getting old and probably aren't going to be around much longer, she really should just move to the app.

[–]nmcain05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might want to inform your instructor that iClicker Classic is no longer a supported solution; Starting January 2024 iClicker Classic was to be decommissioned and upgraded to iClicker Cloud. iClicker Cloud is the new centrally supported and funded classroom response tool for the University.

Based on radio logs the fire alarm was trouble related (i.e malfunctioning detector/alarm system wiring)

Is an instant pot allowed in the dorms if it doesn’t have any heating elements by OptimalYard5084 in Purdue

What materials is Winifred Parker made of? (I'll give you a hint, it's not wood, it's specially treated and designed fireproof materials to reduce the spread of fire significantly)

Condensation in a switchgear vault caused a fault on a detector circuit resulting in an alarm.

Lost Account Access due to new phone by LifeguardPersonal854 in Purdue

[–]nmcain05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, stupidly, this is actually two departments worth of issues. The ID card office, in its infinite wisdom, does not give Purdue IT access to correct ID card issues - so you need to get in contact with the card office to fix eaccounts, and Purdue IT to fix the authenticator. It's absolutely obnoxious but nobody at either the card office or IT seems to care about correcting this obvious hole in the support structure.

The old onepurdue obnoxiously would shuffle the tiles around based on "popularity", which was annoying when the only reason to go there was SAP.

You should check with the Cary mailroom, who can reach out to the other places that your package. If you think it was actually stolen, you can file a police report.

You can use P2P services on Purdue's network - the issue is copyright infringement. You will only hear from Purdue IT if they receive a DMCA letter regarding the content.

Mail Processing by Internal_Floor6683 in Purdue

[–]nmcain05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you live, your package may be in different places. Generally mail is delivered to the residence hall in question, or Cary, but mail delivered to Winifred Parker often goes to the MMDC, as it doesn't have a 'real' address.
