I'm all for practical building but a university would be one place I would expect some foresight. Host an open competition, go for more than a token nod to "sustainability," anything.

I probably sound pretty cynical right about now but I really do think they are missing some key opportunities.
I totally agree. This new acquisition is a huge opportunity given the location in the city. I am going to be optimistic at this point that MUN will put some more thought into architecture on this one. It could be a cool new symbol for MUN.
