Personally, I kind of like it. But, it was built entirely in the mid-60's in the Space Age style. It hasn't aged well either.
Whoa, I just looked it up and it seems to be quite a unique place. A gracefully executed unified complex built in a style that's known for its kitsch and lack of grace, no pun intended. Though it's good that this architecture didn't become a mainstay in cities around the country, it's fascinating to see a sanctuary (once again, no pun intended) of that style on such a scale. I'd love to get high/trip and walk around that campus.
