Speaking of the "Mods", I fail to see the infatuation students and alumni alike have shown for that abysmal conglomeration. Yes, students, who have yet to reach maturity, may well 'love' them, but when those in charge of the university -- who are adults, after all -- see nothing wrong with...

McGuinn is bad but somehow is an improvement over Carney and McElroy. If those two are not going down then why would McGuinn? BC has made some good choices regarding campus construction -- and some god-awful ones. Why students and the BC community have to be continuously subjected to the...

Since when did BC acquire Mt. Ida? And, Messina is on the former Pine Manor campus, not Mt. Ida.

If true, so much for my hopes that both those eyesores be taken down and replaced with something along the lines of Stokes. Some years ago I was informed by someone high up in the capital projects office that Carney would be replaced by a very nice dining hall in the gothic tradition, sporting...

Any truth to the report that BC is planning to remodel the outside of McElroy and Carney to better fit in with the Gothic aesthetic of the quad they are on? I believe I read about it in the student newspaper, The Heights.

Long time no news. Anyone have pictures of the new basketball facility to share?

The mods were low rent when they were 'built' and they are low rent now. BC aspires to be included among the top colleges yet continues to make some poor decisions regarding campus development, something, by the way, that is one of the 'top priorities' in its 'grand scheme'. What do they not get...

Anyone have pictures of progress on the new basketball facility?

"daring" does not equal 'advisable'. Aren't there enough 'big box' stores to fill that sort of need? Or am I being 'human' instead of 'bot'...

Really! Brutalism or International Style -- whatever it is -- where did they find these so-called architects?! Wait...or is this the 'brainchild' of AI?!!

What is it about the "brutalism" (apparently it is actually in the 'International Style', but, yes, it does look 'brutal' to me) of O'Neill that you Like?

Sorry, I am having a heck of a time trying to create a link from that webpage. Got any suggestions?

Would anybody like to comment on this...?

Long time no updates. Anybody have recent progress on doings at BC? Yesterday I ran across a "study" rendition for a gothic façade on O'Neill Library by David M Owens, architect. This will only cover the side facing Gasson. I guess the rest will remain as is. I don't have the link but if you...

I wonder how those orange things are used...
