> Design life for buildings is under 50 years and 100-year pandemics are somewhat less frequent?

Mankind has been designing and living in buildings for far longer than 50 years. Supposedly the US has a lot of experience designing and building prisons, which have far more stringent requirements than university dorms, and clearly these lessons have been learned long ago.

But just not by Munger, who apparently is militantly against any feedback from any architect.

We can't feign ignorance. Bad design is bad design.
