No.
I prefer all buildings on all campuses to adhere to Federalist architecture or, better, look like Gothic castles (I will give West Point kudos for that) – dream spaces with lots of manicured lawns and gardens. If I were choosing a college today, this would be my main criteria and was at the top of our list when choosing boarding schools for our son. If you’re going to spend four years in a place, pick a gorgeous one and that, for me, means no glass/steel/concrete monstrosities. I loved that part of Choate’s mission statement at the time emphasized that the school “inspires students to appreciate the importance of beauty and grace in their lives,” and the campus architecture certainly reflected that. To us, this was so much more important than the mundane metrics most here consider.
I think that these privileged educations in beautiful places should be doing much more than preparing kids for careers. Along the way, they should be reaching deep inside, touching students’ finer selves and stirring young souls to appreciate, well, “the importance of beauty and grace” in their lives. A school that understands this is a school that has its priorities straight in my book. I say, choose the school that values these finer things and whispers them into the curriculum among buildings that conjure the ghosts of places past. These are halcyon days; plenty of time for hardscape later.
We were so sad when Choate chose the site of the beautiful old headmaster’s home to replace with the new math and computer science center, the ugliest building on campus in my book:

I know there are many people who find modern architecture just as stimulating and dream-worthy, but I’m not one of them. My answer to the OP is an emphatic, “NO!”
