Well sad thing is all three proposals were complete and utter crap. Hacker designed a giant metal shed. Opsis looked flashy, but when it came to amount of space being applied to the rec center, it was a waste. YGH hand the most mediocre design which seemed to be the best one. From the Urban Center, the large glass windows will seem interesting, but from the street sides, it will have an oppressive design that will do nothing to advance the idea of architecture on campus. Rather, it will hinder the look of the campus and continue the drive for mediocrity.

Having the architecture department try their hand at something better would of been nice, but the college is too stupidly run to do anything like that. At least the Urban Center looks good.
