The SEZ design is a done deal.
Now for the north end, I would love for concourse or "colonnades" like Virginia's Scott Stadium but with our brick pillars.

We need to incorporate the styling of our campus with our athletic complex.

Troy's is ok, but Penn's is downright weird looking. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Royal Family waving from the balcony.
Penn is hallowed....
I've always been partial towards imitating University of Colorado's Folsom Field.

We need to incorporate the styling of our campus with our athletic complex.
What style would we incorporate? Wyly Tower? GTM? College of Business? Dudley? Hale? Lambright? Tech Point? Student Apartments? I think the SEZ seems to reflect some of the newer buildings on campus. I agree we should have some cohesion in our looks, but I am not sure what that look is.
Colorado's looks okay.
Buz is right though. Not much uniformity in building design across campus. Grow ivy on it and it sings: COLLEGE!
I was talking more about our brick pathways and pillars.Quote:

I assume the upcoming campus master plan will address some styling issues for future construction.
Not a fan of the stone choice and roof, but I like the layout and overall look that a good stone/brick would provide.Quote:

I guess, and he was part of a group that went to Africa to study a vine that grows and does a great job of preventing soil erosion on hills and such. They brought it back to Georgia.....yep, kudzu! They were right, it did like the Southern US climate!Quote:

Words can't describe how much I HATE a football stadium that has a "running track" around the playing field. Your fans can be sitting on the 50-yard line and still be 50 yards away from the action in the field.Quote:
