The State of MU’s Campus

[StillAWarrior]

To be clear, I have nothing against offering a meal plan for people like your son.

I just don't think it should be required.

I understand and didn't interpret you to be saying that.

[Hards Alumni]

  i've heard those oonies are really really good, but expensive.  i also have a weber natural gas grill plus the smoker/grill. last thing i need is ANOTHER grill.  just need the adjunct to the smoker

You're loaded though!  You can swing $800.

Marquette University's new College of Business building is among 10 projects being honored in an annual  statewide design awards program. The American Institute of Architects Wisconsin bestowed honor awards, the Wisconsin Architectural Awards program's highest recognition, on three projects designed by its members. Those recognize overall excellence.
O'Brien Hall is Marquette University's new College of Business building.

"Inclusive design strategies focus on providing generous space, enhanced wayfinding and clear paths, visual transparency and clarity of programmatic spatial organization, quality lighting and daylight, and reduction in sensory noise," the nomination said.

"Inclusive design strategies" ... that sounds woke.

Strange way to describe an ugly ass building.

You know that's not a photo, right?  That's an architect's rendering.


It's also a bad angle. Here's a picture of the real building.

Reminiscent of beautiful Rosemont Illinois

Compared to the rest of the buildings in the photo?

[Dickthedribbler]

I admittedly know little about architecture, but as I drive east and west on Wisconsin Avenue, I think it's a nice looking building.

Compared to every other building built since 2010.

From Wisconsin Ave it's a rough looking building indicative of the $10-15 million they lopped off right before ground breaking. 

From the AMU side it's actually pretty cool and it presents kids with a nice place to hang out regardless of Major.

I was on campus yesterday and I have to say the space between AMU & Schroeder is really nice. 

Since it's my job to complain, I would just go all in and get only Oktoberfest style picnic tables for the green space.   What they have now looks cheap.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

The new building IS nice from the campus side. I never understood why they had the "construction cam" pointed across Wisconsin Avenue though because it's not the best look.

[NCMUFan]

The one-story section in the foreground with the green trim looks out of place.  Minus that and it is pretty good looking in my humble opinion.

The $10-15 million lopped off in the trade is called "Value Engineering-VE".

As a Marquette High Dad who drops his kid off and drives downtown, it's depressing.  As a guy who participates in MU's mentor program and walks out of the Union, it's really nice. 

I guess it shows that having multiple perspectives is healthy.

I am glad Marquette didn't put up a lot of buildings up during the Brutalist period. The Wehr buildings are pretty awful, but at least they are kind of tucked away.

Most of UIC was developed during that era and it is perhaps the ugliest campus I have ever set foot on.

Sounds like they didn't design it for curb appeal but instead for on-campus appeal.

Many posters here showing their true colors as shallow individuals. It's not what it looks like on the outside but the beautiful leaders of tomorrow that are created on the inside.

It's not a mutually exclusive proposition.

[pbiflyer]

Yes. That's why the bars are empty every weekend.

TAMU specifically said disposable money, not essential money.

Sultan, are you aware of any campus that allows you to live in the dorms without a food plan?

UCF. Pay as you go is an option. Most students don't get the plan.
Oh and door dash is a popular way for students to get food these days. Ask my bank account.
