This makes no sense to me as well.
Where I attended, they relocated whole buildings to different locations on the campus. One was a historic Women's Studies building. They spent a week putting a truck bed under it, then moved it uphill on a Friday morning as I walked to class. A month later they were building another building where it originally stood.
The next summer they completely demolished and rebuilt half of the student dorms - 4 buildings.
In the past 10 years, while tuition has doubled twice and their sports teams won championships, they also rebuilt half of the campus. It doesn't look like the place I attended.
