School feels like a prison to many students, but at one college, students can actually take classes in an old jail cell.
Baruch College in New York City has renovated an old cell block for use as a tutoring center, according to the New York Times.
The building used to be a Family Court, and the old judge’s chambers are now used for offices.
The college has made use of other oddities for academic purposes, such as their Newman Library, which used to be a coal-burning power station.
Due to difficulties in redesigning spaces, some of the jail artifacts such as the cell bars were not removed.
Its oddity has been appealing to some students, with one saying that the room had “a nice charm to it.”
