The short walk to Woodroffe Mall was an ideal after-dinner stroll through tree-lined streets.

Description
Once upon a time Collis Towers was an upscale building in the heart of Tollyton. The folks who lived here before the quarantine mostly worked at nearby Peter General 60,62, St Joachim's 65,63 or St Boniface's 66,65 Hospitals. Doctors and nurses, technicians and office bitches loved having this address on their personal stationery. The short walk to Woodroffe Mall was an ideal after-dinner stroll through tree-lined streets. No expense was spared while building The Collis, and the residents took advantage of all the privileges offered them.
Current Status
Extremely heavily barricaded. Lights are on inside. Lots of footprints in all directions. Beachrat 04:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
History
Collis Towers was constructed in 1963 by two brothers as investment property. Their parents lived there and managed the building until they leaped to their deaths in 1972 for reasons still unknown. After the brothers died of AIDS in the 80s, the building was left to an eccentric daughter. She died during the outbreak from a drug overdose and refused to become undead. She is buried in a cemetery nearby 62, 69.
When the building first opened, a bistro operated on the ground floor. Soon followed an Italian trattoria that served the best gelato this side of Venice. There was a thriving spa located near the atrium area back in the day. An exercise room and smoothie bar were later added. In the 90s a hair salon opened, and the owner lived at Collis Towers. He was always available to residents in case of a hair emergency.
1 August 2021 A Papa John's Pizza pop-up is now operating within the towers. Professor Crowbar eats more pizza than he sells, but is a great employee nonetheless; we're glad to have him on the team. Other tower residents have fled in terror but they'll come around. They'll embrace Papa someday... Papa John Schnatter (talk) 18:00, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Barricade Policy
Collis Towers should be kept at VSB - very strongly barricaded. Management and security will do their best to barricade when necessary but visitors and residents are strongly encouraged to uphold the Uniform Barricading Policy at all times.
