The linked story is to the proposed School of Architecture, which would reside off-campus at the old John Deer building in the north downtown warehouse district.
I agree with you, however, that there could be a little more variety in the new building designs as most of the new buildings do seem to follow a very similar tyndalstone, fieldstone and glass theme. I'm just hoping that they continue to stick to the overall program and avoid blunders (IMO) like the Arts Tower and Vet Med. Even the NRC and Engineering buildings, though fine buildings in their own right, don't really fit in with the rest of the campus facilities.
