The building’s not just for SEAS, but science in general (though apparently it’ll block the observatories on Pupin).

The lead architect is Jose Rafael Moneo, who has no Columbia affiliation (shocker!) but is hand picked by Bollinger.

Most buildings built in the 60s and after are ugly and utilitarian: Mudd, Uris, East Campus, Jerome Greene Hall, that Schapiro place, Lerner.

I just hope this new ugly, un-Classical building will get rid of its ugly name someday.
