[QUOTE="ChiefIllinois, post: 1804878, member: 748488"] I’m in the boat that the cookie cutter high rise epidemic of green street hurts the small town college vibes that is quintessential Champaign. I think they’ve done a great job of new campus buildings not being boring while also not marking them look ultra futuristic. I love the repurposing and renovating of some of the older buildings to keep the classics around as well. I think as years pass it’ll feel less foreign and frankly Champaign is never going to be the town Madison or Ann Arbor is. I will say this, the assembly hall renovation breathed much needed life into what is our flagship sport. It happened while I was attending, and I gotta say the game day experience for students was improved 10 fold. It feels like a classier place to go watch a game rather than a saucer with basketball being played inside. I know attendance is always a hot subject, but lessening the total capacity of memorial in a renovation would really help in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
