Billionaire Charlie Munger offered at least 200 million dollars to UC Santa Barbara to build his vision of what a dorm should be. Nicknamed "prison" dorm and dormzilla, it would cost 1.5 billion to build. Maximized to the brim, his 11 story dorm fits over 4600 students, but at the expense of windowless bedrooms. When an architect on the university's design committee resigned in protect, Munger's "prison" dorm went viral and got hated on by the whole internet. But maybe Charlie was onto something and not just some sick twisted billionaire trapping students in dark rooms for fun. He seems like a pretty honest guy to me from his interview he did on why he wants to build the dorm.
