Foisie’s takeover hasn’t been all negative though. Thanks to him, tech suites automatically lock in students who use them alone, robotics students actually have working robots at the end of the term, and with a lack of makerspace employees willing to work, you can just take the tools you need instead of doing three Canvas quizzes and eight card scans to use a screwdriver for 30 seconds.

While his name may have been redacted from everything WPI-related, he lives on as an artificial neural-network based conscious mind within the walls of the Innovation Studio.

The system, which was slated to be turned on in conjunction with the studio’s opening, faced initial delays. “Odor detecting” sensors in the ceiling had to be fine tuned to IMGD specific frequencies in order for the system to work correctly. Since this issue was resolved, all students with a body odor of 8.7 or above will be doused with water while walking under certain zones in the Foisie Innovation Studio.

There seemed to be some confusion amongst students, with some thinking the showering system was merely a “pipeline leak” rather than a planned feature. Front desk employees reassured The Institute staff that it was in fact the intended design, citing a flawless construction record in the past. A leaked slide deck regarding the design was sent in anonymously, confirming the intentions of the architect.

While plenty of praise has been given to the clever building feature, Foisie’s design has also received some negative attention. One IMGD students who wished to remain unnamed reported feeling “absolutely devastated”, with a 10 week streak of non-showering being broken with no prior warning. In another instance, a student reported losses of $12,390 when the system sprayed soapy water on 3 textbooks, ruining them on contact.

The weeks following should prove interesting, as the shower system is further fine tuned. Of course, check in with The Institute for further updates.

Details are currently being hashed out–at this time it is unclear whether the Abercrombie & Fitch will be located next door by the Orange Julius, or on the second floor of the building by the Sunglasses Hut. However, the school assured students that kiosks selling fidget spinners, do-it-yourself spray tans, and pet hermit crabs would be conveniently located adjacent to the Cash for Gold.

At press time, administrators were seen wiping pretzel dog crumbs off their pants before posing for an Instagram pic captioned “#InnovateEverything.”

“Say cheese dip!” said the photographer.

Amidst a sea of trustees and fellow students, Brink reportedly signed not only his name, but also his phone number, Tinder and Bumble profiles, and a brief ranking of his favorite servo motors, in hopes of finding that special someone. Brink, a perpetually single undergrad, has tried it all when it comes to landing that perfect date, but he hasn’t given up hope just yet.

“This beam signing is the perfect opportunity to meet girls, and it takes out all pesky social interaction,” says Brink. “Years from now, I’m going to get the call, and I just know she’ll be the one. This event is a dream come true.”

In keeping with ancient Scandinavian tradition, workers affixed a Christmas tree to the beam to appease the tree spirits which run rampant in Worcester. At press time, Brink was seen uttering an ancient Nordic love prayer for good measure.
