Holy hell, that looks good. I hope they go with the timber framing because that will be a beautiful addition....and the architecture department should definitely make full use of that building. It would probably be in the best interest of both departments to really work together once this building goes up....

Also I am super jealous because it would be so much fun to get my architecture degree now at PSU and combine my time there with art classes in this new building, along with taking classes at the Urban Planning department. That would be such an amazing things for future students.

A good first impression. Does anyone know what the green exterior cladding is?
