Comments on: Striking in design and program, new building to embody vision for science education and research at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College /news/2018/05/17/striking-new-building-to-embody-vision-for-science-education-at-bates-college/ Fri, 15 Feb 2019 20:55:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: Christopher Seneta /news/2018/05/17/striking-new-building-to-embody-vision-for-science-education-at-bates-college/#comment-263116 Fri, 18 May 2018 02:53:00 +0000 /news/?p=115645#comment-263116 Please do not build this building as shown in the rendering! Until now,
this ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ grad has always been grateful that ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ escaped the 1970s with a
building like Ladd Library: uninspired and ignorant of its campus neighbors;
but not visually offensive. There are some awful examples from the period that spoil
otherwise quaint campuses. But this design senselessly harkens back to the Bland
State University school of design circa 1995. Let’s honor the magnificent
donations from Michael and Alison Bonney and others by going back to the
drawing board.

This looks like an outdated building, similar to Ladd Library. This is the last I would expect from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and moving the campus into the new era.
