I have a masters degree from Indiana State University. They had an old building that was razed in the mid-50.

There are still bricks from that place floating around campus today.
My point is that knowing college buildings and grounds people the way I do, it doesn't surprise me in the least that they threw this stuff in a corner thinking they may find a use for it one day.
