[QUOTE="coryfor3, post: 1468791, member: 17609"] I'm sure it is a nice facility and all. But as I feared, it is a monstrosity of an eyesore dropped on campus much like most of the latest construction projects on campus or on Green Street. Less open space all around. "Cramped" is the new architecture design on campus. The facility blocks sight lines to about 1/4-1/3 of the columns on one side of the stadium and largely blocks out views of the stadium at all if you are to the east of Memorial Stadium. The stadium is a nice looking, traditional facility. So we're dropping buildings right next to it to apparently ensure we can't see some of the better architecture on campus anymore. I have a real problem as an alum with the University's unwillingness to preserve various traditions so there is at least some constants and traditions for alums to share over time and with their families. This is just another example. Bigger and better and to heck with trying to do it in some way that preserves the past and tradition. [/QUOTE]
