According to the wikipedia entry for list of largest buildings in the world, this m.f. of a building is the 10th largest in the world in area, and 3rd largest in the US. Even if this is just an urban legend, I still respect it. Probably because the building is nearly half a mile long, and I have to walk through it every day.
Note to self: if I ever get sick, go to UW Medical Center. By the time I get out of there, I'd be fit as John Basedow. I mean, those cruel bastards'd probably make me go a 1/4 of a mile just to pee.
To illustrate my point, here's a map of (most of) campus. The red circle indicates the building I'm talking about. My home. Too big to circle. But not too big for my heart.
To illustrate further, one of those tiny T shaped wings on the bottom side of the building includes the whole school of public health. That tiny (in comparison) area includes the most ballin' department (biostat), some environmental/occupational health shit (I don't know what that means either), epidemiology doodizzle, galactical health or something, and "health" "services."And I'm man enough to admit I've only visited wings J, I, H, F, T, AA, and RR. I've still got lots of exploring to do.
