I read a report of a meeting with the local Woodlawn community concerning what the dorm would look like. The community, to which the Univesity is quite sensitive, wanted the dorm to blend into the housing style of the community and did not want a “Gothic” structure in the middle of their bloc. The University asked the architect to honor both the Woodlawn neighborhood wishes, have it fit into the University environment (note that the law school is there as well and it is not gothic in design), and be attractive enough to convince students to stay there all 4 years. The jury is out on whether our not all masters have been served.
