That has to be one of the most awesome things I've seen a university create, to attract students. And I've seen a lot of big ideas from universities, over the past decade, to attract students.

Eero Saarinen was the person I was speaking of when I said "one of the biggest names of that time" and yes, I was comparing the courthouse to Yamasaki's Northwestern National Life Building. I wanted to avoid directly saying names and buildings, to prevent fights based on my opinions. Give just enough information for an architecture fan to accurately guess on the first try. To me, it does look like an updated version of the Northwestern National Life Building, but that is just my opinion. I did notice what appears to be a skylight between the mechanical penthouses. It would be interesting to see the space under that!
