It's just the nature of the stone. The entire university has the same problem where surfaces aren't straight up and down. Because sturdy stone is on an angle it ends up discoloured. I think it's sort of an oxidization or residue of chemicals from rain etc because it doesn't run off. The weathering doesn't bother me much, I think embracing the fact that materials show their age is interesting especially in an age where curtain wall rules.
