lets get a better rendering though, like one where we can see it in place in the city. I need to make a not-so-mental picture.
There's not much of a skyline to speak of.... there's just sort of a random smattering of buildings in the 8 to 20 story range scattered around campus (I think only 4 buildings with 12 stories or more).

This is also interesting because its basically in a corn-town about 2 hours south of Chicago, though its worth pointing out how great the integration is; Champaign-Urbana has an awesome bus transit system with good service hours and typical headways around 15 minutes, with most routes hubbing at the Amtrak/Greyhound terminal. Very easy to go between and around Chicago and Champaign without a car.
