Why did they close that giant place down where they used to build houses and projects? It would be awesome to incorporate it back into tech.

It's a storeroom for books now.
Also, there are also a lot of the metal working machines from back when they had metal shop in Tech. It's expensive to remove all of those machinery to make the foundry functional.

Back when I was in Tech (wow, I can't believe I just said that), preliminary ideas were drafted with regards to the modern functionality of the foundry. I would suppose that plans are still being drafted to come up with a good use for that space. You should ask your SGO representatives to follow up and suggest any ideas that students may have to Mr. Asher.
