OLD MAIN BUILDING SCHEDULED FOR DEMOLITION, TO BE REPLACED BY WORLD'S LARGEST TRAMPOLINE PARK
In a surprising announcement, the university revealed that the beloved Old Main Building – the historic centerpiece of the campus – is to be demolished and replaced by the world's largest trampoline park.
Many students and faculty members are upset about the decision. The building was not only a cherished landmark but also housed many important academic departments.
"I cannot believe they would just tear down such a beautiful and important building," said Professor John Smith of the History Department. "This is an outrage, and it shows the university's lack of respect for our campus history."
Others, however, are more excited about the prospect of a massive trampoline park on campus. The university claims that the new attraction will help bring more visitors and revenue to the school.
"We are thrilled to be bringing this incredible new feature to our campus," said University President, Susan Lee. "This trampoline park will be the largest in the world and will put us on the map as a top educational and entertainment destination."
The trampoline park will feature a variety of attractions, including:
A dozen interconnected trampolines
Foam pits
Basketball hoops
Dodgeball arena
Rock climbing wall
Ninja course
Zip-line
The university has partnered with a major entertainment corporation to fund and build the park. They have promised that it will be an eco-friendly and sustainable attraction, with solar panels and energy-efficient lighting.
Despite the promises, many are still upset about the decision to tear down such an important building. Some students have even organized protests and petition drives to save Old Main.
"It's a disgrace to see our history and traditions tossed aside like this," said Sally Johnson, a junior studying Music Education. "We need to fight back and show the university that we won't stand for this kind of disrespect."
For now, the university is standing firm on its decision and has already begun the process of tearing down Old Main. The trampoline park is scheduled to open next year, and many are already eagerly anticipating the grand opening.
"It's going to be amazing," said freshman Rebecca Nguyen, who is majoring in Biology. "I can't wait to bounce around and have fun with my friends. Who needs old buildings when you have trampolines?"
