In a town known for its intellectual prowess, a former school transforms into the ultimate social hub at Campus No. 805. While it's been ages since it echoed with the voices of students, the corridors of Campus No. 805 still see familiar faces. But these days, the subjects have taken a different turn. And yes, those trusty old lockers still stand, but now they guard the entrance to a secret speakeasy, adding a touch of mystery and allure to this reimagined space.
