I agree. I think the buildings look absolutely hideous. I am certainly excited that the college is evolving but this happens to be some of the worst architecture that I have seen in awhile. Back when I was in school, 280 College Street received a lot of criticism because it looked too bland. That building is an absolute architectural gem compared to these two structures.

It is a pity too because I chose to go to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ primarily because of the feeling I got while on campus. It struck me as a beautiful New England college with all the peaks and columns on the buildings. I hate to see my alma mater tarnished by such structures. Especially considering that this is supposed to be the new gleaming beacon on campus.

Thankfully, these monstrosities are on the outside of the campus, and these will not be the last construction projects that ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ undergoes. All I can hope is that in the future the college has the common sense to choose some decent architecture.

It’s gems like these that make each Campus Construction Update a joy. Thanks for making today another great day to be a Bobcat, Doug!
