Is Cornell like Hogwarts?

The story I heard about Uris Hall is that the metal was supposed to rust, and turn a nice amber-red color within 20 years. Even though it’s been 20 years, it hasn’t finished yet, because they tested the rusting-rate of the metal in NYC, where there is a lot more pollution. Cornell’s clean air is causing it to take at least another 30 years to complete its rusting process. What I find most ironic about this is that Cornell, a school with a highly esteemed graduate science program, forgot to control their variables in doing an experiment! (^^)
