Cool, right?
UCD have employed the service of several shipwrights in keel laying what will become the university’s new high tech solution to the housing crisis, The Harpy can confirm.
Looking to make use of what many in da biz (a technical term to refer to the planning and construction industry, experts have clarified for us) call redundant space in the main lake, UCD Estate Services have enlisted the help of the ghost of Andrew Deeks, UCD’s previous president and mastermind of the UCD Village Residences, which he called a ‘luxury solution’ to student accommodation. The university currently plans to fill the capacity of the lake with a massive house-boat yacht, complete with a large plank to make delinquent renters walk off of as part of a potential eviction process.
ResLife have already begun planning a number of events, such as a re-enactment of Titanic, for incoming residents of the houseboat, which they ominously describe as a “whale of a time”. It is currently unknown if the event intends to re-enact the 1997 film Titanic or the actual sinking of the Titanic, or if such a clarification even makes a difference; when asked about this, ResLife responded with a long-winded rant about the differences between shipwrighting and boat building, which are apparently numerous.
The Harpy reached out to Andrew Deeks via Ouija Board, but he could not be reached for comment. This is probably because, as we later discovered, he is not actually dead.
