The Reflector

A truly sad day when it does come down but foreseeable. Suttle always had challenges and wasn't the best design for building community etc. even before it had maintenance issues. The culture of the building did endear folks to it though. Hopefully the alumni association will start an alumni group for it. I actually lived in Suttle longer than I've lived any other single place in my whole life. I lived there for 6 out of 7 years that I was at MSU and for 5 of those years I was an RA or a hall director in Suttle. Great memories and a great experience but even back then there was talk of tearing it down due to its issues. I always said I'd be the first one to swing a wrecking ball at it but it would definitely be with a touch of sadness in my heart.

Just for giggles...for whom is/was Suttle Hall named? If it was me, I didn't get the memo.

It was named for Professor A.D. Suttle who was hired at MSU in 1961 from his position as director of the Mississippi Industrial and Technological Commission. He was the Coordinator of Research and Graduate Studies. He was really only at MSU briefly before Texas A & M hired him away.

I lived in Room 216 of Suttle Hall from fall 1984 through spring 1986. While I enjoyed living with the folks in my suite, the building was a complete dump. Spartan does not even come close to describing it. Even 25 years ago, it was a dump. I had good times there, but it is way past due for demolition.

Does anyone know when Suttle was built?

1968

I'll miss seeing this old landmark. It was ugly but memorable, and all the memories from when I visited friends there. For whom the wrecking ball toils... it toils for thee.

If anyone thinks Suttle was a dump, they should have lived in Main. But for all its shortcomings, Main was a great place to live as a freshman in "those days of yore".

I lived in Room 801 during the Fall 2001 and Spring 2002 semesters as a graduate student. I appreciated having a private room and the extra space that came alongside. It was also where I found out on 9/11/01 that terrorists had hijacked two jetliners and crashed them into the World Trade Center. The one bad experience I had was that the guy(s) living across the hall from me were burning incense and/or smoking blunts in their bedrooms at 330am on Sunday mornings. Those same suite mates also kept me up all night during finals week as I was desperately trying to finish a take-home final in Dr Vivien Miller's analysis class.

I was the hall director there when 9/11 happened and we had two residents pack up and move home because Suttle wasn't safe since terrorists were targeting tall buildings. I tried to explain that terrorist had higher priority targets than Suttle but to no avail.
