Darn. I was so prepared to make a snarky comment about your title.

Decent article, but they got one key thing wrong: the pavilion is not a coffee shop. It has a coffee shop in it, but I have spent a great amount of time in the pavilion and have never bought a cup of coffee. The Rice Coffeehouse is my primary supplier of beverages of the caffeinated variety; it is completely student-run and serves organic, fair-trade, locally roasted coffee.

That said, I really do like the pavilion. It is a great central meeting spot on campus, and it's nice to enjoy the natural light. The coffeehouse is a separate issue.

That is not a good photo. A deadline must have been approaching and a photographer was not available.

I find the comment on symmetry rather amusing, considering that they couldn't line the sidewalks up with the rest of the campus. Also, with only two working doors (at least at the time when I visited two days ago), it's not very "porous".

Then again, I'm biased against the pavilion.

yeah, dunno why 2 doors work when there are like 8 built

I like the coffee there though
