This is fan-fucking-tastic. If this were BC it would be some safe neo-gothic building (and I say that as someone that likes BCs campus). Bravo to BU for being bold.
Boston City Hall was a bold building when built in the 1960's. It even won several architectural awards at the time.
 
Those fans are a small and diminishing minority.

The facade completely changes from varying degrees of clear to red depending on the angle its viewed from. I havent seen a transition so dramatic. This facade is amazing. Its going to look completely different from every different sight line, even when viewing the same side!
