<p>hey everyone,</p>
<p>milstein hall is currently on delay but it looks like construction will go on. Cornell recently lost a big chunk of its endowment (along with other ivies) due to the financial crisis so getting the building approved has been harder. However, it doesn’t make sense for Milstein Hall to be delayed even further since a lot of investment has already been poured into the project and the school’s accreditation status close to being removed due to the delay of Milstein Hall.</p>
<p>Though still a little early to tell, the new dean seems to be very promising. He is charismatic and is eager to push for the construction of Milstein Hall. For architecture students, the more important part will be the chair search that is underway for the architecture department, as he or she would be largely responsible for bringing in a lot of the visiting faculty and lecturers.</p>
