We need some new photos here! Seriously! It's been, like, in the 60s the last few days and nobody has gone over there to check it out?

Garage Modern or Turning Torso it ain't

Remember when everyone was saying that this wasn't going to look anything like the renderings? I had a feeling then and now it's proven that they were definitely wrong.

And not a single orange brick or panel in sight! Looks like Drexel really has turned a new leaf.

It also really looks great when viewed from the angle of the 30th Street Sta. platforms...

It's a shame you can't really see the east and west sides of the building without getting up close, cause they look really good...

Very very nice indeed. Most universities would be lucky to get a dorm half this excellent.

Have fun competing in this economic climate, Drexel, when the cheaper universities in town are actually seeing an influx of students that realize that overpriced education may come back and bite them in the ass.
