J.K. Rowling purchases Irving K. Barber Learning Centre | The Syrup Trap (http://syruptrap.ca/2013/08/j-k-rowling-purchases-irving-k-barber-learning-centre/)
As of Aug. 13, Rowling now sits as director of the library’s Advisory Committee, which this week voted in favour of a $61,000,000 CAD renovation. When asked about the renovations, previous director Simon Naeme simply chuckled and said, “We’re just really happy to add a little magic to the experience here at UBC.”
$5,000,000 towards the addition of secondary mobile staircases, which will connect to the current staircases at odd intervals “so as to mimic the iconic staircases of Hogwarts.”
$300,000 towards the acquisition of digital picture frames, which will display animated photos of previous UBC presidents (“headmasters”).
$30,000,000 towards the construction of four new faculty (“house”) lounges for students in Science (“Ravenclaw”), Engineering (“Gryffindor”), Sauder (“Slytherin”) and Arts (“Hufflepuff”).
$8,000,000 towards the removal of Ike’s Café.
$7,000,000 towards the hiring and training of an elite team of Dementors to replace current security staff (“They weren’t very scary-looking anyway”).
$10,000,000 towards the construction of a “Chamber of Secrets,” for which Rowling gave no specific purpose.
