The following buildings will be demolished, according to a news release:
Parker and Noyes halls and the Old Student Health Building, which are next to each other on South Sixth Street;
Read Hall, on Hitt Street across from Ellis Library;
Loeb Hall, on South Fifth Street near Peace Park;
London Hall, on South Sixth Street next to Lafferre Hall;
Neff Annex, at Ninth and Elm streets;
Columbia Professional Building, on University Avenue across from Middlebush Hall. We have been developing this plan for years, and the plan is now actively beginning, MU spokesperson Christian Basi said.
The process of vacating buildings, which will take several months, has begun, he said. After that, MU will take bids for the demolition process.
Eight buildings on the University of Missouri campus will be demolished as part of the school’s effort to reduce maintenance costs and use space more efficiently, the university announced Thursday.
Set for eventual demolition are the Columbia Professional Building, Loeb Hall, London Hall, Neff Annex, Noyes Hall, the Old Student Health Building, Parker Hall and Read Hall. MU is seeking a buyer for a ninth building, Mizzou North.
By removing 435,000 square feet of space, MU will save more than $2.5 million in annual operating costs and remove $93.7 million from its tally of deferred maintenance work. There is currently $868 million worth of maintenance needed across campus, a university spokesperson said.

Known locally as 3.11, the Great East Japan Earthquake was one of the most destructive natural disasters in the country’s history, with the death toll estimated at 16,000, although many bodies were never found.
The tsunami surge, more than 130-feet-high in some areas, tossed cars into third-storey windows and reduced houses and shops to something resembling a giant game of pick-up-sticks. Images of vehicles twisted into unrecognizable crumples of metal and rubber, and fishing boats listing high on dry land maintain a level of surrealism.
