Ever since the bookstore moved downtown I've had a fear of something like this happening. It's "campus creep" and entirely against the spirit of Colgate's founders in keeping the buildings on the hill. I can't imagine the thinking that went into this boondoggle. Wake up people!

I know absolutely nothing about design I don't really understand the front left part of the building. I think they put a car in front of it to mask how poorly is connects with the building next to it. Seems like this kind of design begs to sit out in the open to take advantage of the windows instead of creating an uninviting alley next to it. I think the interior of it and the alley closest to the Inn are nice looking but If I were the new president, I would absolutely stop $30 million from being spent on this.
