There are a half dozen dorms around campus of equal size, so I think the scale is perfect. It's not anymore overpowering than Illini Towers.
And it's a natural progression. When I was there in the 90's, the new apartment buildings were all being built out of walking range of campus, where you had to drive to class, and then where do you park?
Campus needs more density than the ubiquitus 4 story apt building, and Campustown has been long overdue for increased student housing, where the holy trifecta of class, food and beer are all steps from your door.
