FLITE Library

The Ferris Library for Information, Technology, and Education ("FLITE") is the main library on the campus of Ferris State, and a major location for Dozerfleet history. Throughout that time period, this was a go-to place when dorm internet service was down.

Fall 2006
Some research was done for projects here, mostly for acting class assignments.

Spring 2007
Dozerfleet founder hallmate Robin Hercher, who drew a manga version of John Domeck in the spring of 2007 and helped with some other assignments, frequently attended the anime club around this time.

Fall 2007
Classrooms on the first floor of FLITE are where final submissions were made for Audio Production class sound clips, including "All Your Shapes Are Belong to Us" and the Apple Pecan Lodge ad. Also, this tower located between FLITE and the Music Building inspired a similar tower in a chapter of Ciem.

Spring 2008
"Once I'm Gone" was written in part in this building's 1st floor library in 2008. In 2008, the Dozerfleet Database's predecessor migrated from WikiSpaces to Wiki-Site in this building.

Spring 2009
Some artwork for Ciem 2 was drafted in here.

Fall 2009
For a tech theater class, one assignment dealt with reinterpreting stage design for Inherit the Wind. A copy of the play was borrowed from the library for that purpose.

Post-Dozerfleet
The infamous Jim Crow Museum was eventually moved to FLITE, when it previously resided in the since-torn-down Rankin Center.

Earth-G5
This spot is where Chris' SUV drives off in part 4 of Blood Over Water, in spite the study room that Aaron and Monica were in being located in the Starr Building.

Trivia

 * A build of this library for The Sims 4: Oughties Big Rapids Living Stuff was attempted in 2020. The project was abandoned due to lot size and complexity.
