June 2, 2014. Check out more photos of the implosion of Winkler Hall on the campus of Appalachian State University.

Built in 1974, the 11-story dorm that housed 132 students was demolished on Sunday morning. ASU officials said the cost to renovate Winkler Hall wasn’t practical. The site is being analyzed for a potential residence hall.

This is the second round of photos of the implosion. Check out photos published on Sunday here. That link also includes a video of the implosion.
