Demolition Man

November 13th, 2015

The former Urban Studies building, 29 Manning, is being torn down to make way for a new engineering facility.

Bloch, who has studied Providence graffiti subculture, gave current urban studies concentrators a spray-painting tutorial so they could add their names.
