Construction or renovation? Seems like a very old building.[/quote]
Renovation. The building now looks like this https://amherststudent.com/article/lyceum-offers-new-classrooms-offices-common-spaces/[/quote]
How ugly.[/quote]

That is a terrible "blend" of modern and classic NE architecture![/quote]

+1 Evidrntly, with a $3.5 billion endowment, they lack the funds or admin intellect to select and hire a skilled architecture firm. [/quote]
Because this is so unique, not like their peers have the same style:

All hideous.[/quote]
These are beautiful buildings. What’s your preferred style? Drab and worn?[/quote]
Beauty is in the eye of the brholder. Putting a mishmash of glass and metal buildings on an old campus is not attractive. They don't have a common element or share a connection to the older buildings. It looks like Legoland.[/quote]
Heavily disagree. The first one is of Pomona and if you look at the actual full layout, it resembles much of the layout of their other structures and has that Southern California look with the landscaping surrounding it. Williams' building is really just an upscaled classic New England building and most of their campus [b]does[/b] look like that. And the CMC one....that's what CMC looks like. Here's an image if you don't believe me, it's a very corporate school:

These fit exactly with their campuses. I'd love for your explanation as to how you conclude otherwise.[/quote]
