7. 35 years old? Count your blessings.

The building I teach in is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

I want to know what other industry is located in 100 year old buildings. We don't mind warehousing our children in aged facilities but we would never put our doctors' offices, lawyers' offices, or retail stores in buildings this old. If you hired any other professional and pulled up in front of his/her office to find it a 100 year old building, you'd pull out and find someone else to do the job.
