I had to take my Mother up to Ithaca for a day last weekend. I sneaked away for about 45 minutes and checked out some new construction in the city. There's also a couple of other pics. Here goes:

Gates Hall, Bill Gates & wife donated $25 million towards this one. Morphosis Architects (Thom Mayne) designed this rascal. Just one of the new buildings going up on the Cornell University campus.
