<p>Nice. With Manhattanville, it might be HYC or HPC soon ;) or at least the HYPMSC will finally be Columbia and not Caltech! hahah...</p>

<p>God, that's an eyesoar. It's 10x worse than Lerner, which is both an eyesoar and non-functional.</p>

3

<p>Isn't HYPMSC usually Columbia, not Caltech. After all...CC has a 9% acceptance rate while caltech hovers above 20.</p>

4

<p>Yeah I usually say HYPC especially since I consider HYP far worse options than Columbia, and I mean Columbia not cal tech.</p>

<p>As far as most science buildings go, thats pretty much the norm nowadays. I remember going to RPI, V.Tech, and a couple of other tech schools and that kind of architecture is commonplace.</p>

<p>I haven't been to those schools, but do they sandwich a modern glass building in the middle of what was a quad separating 3 classical McKim buildings from each other?</p>

<p>3? It's being built on the edge of campus, over the former tennis courts between Havemeyer and Pupin. There's no quad-destruction going on here. Of course, it's still ****-ugly.</p>

<p>Putting a huge building on top of tennis courts absolutely kills the quad and takes away a ton of airspace.</p>

<p>actually you'd be surprised. i dont know why there is such a big trend in this style but they tend to pop up in the middle of really pretty, brick buildings.</p>

<p>Nice new building.</p>

<p>HYPC????</p>

<p>Don't you mean... CHYP or CHYPS</p>

12

<p>HYPSMC refers to MIT and Caltech. Sorry.</p>

13

<p>Who cares what HYPSMABCD means.</p>

14

<p>Columbia in my heart > H+Y+P+M+S+ every other letter in the alphabet</p>

<p>Interesting spelling of "eyesore"</p>

<p>But wow, that building sucks. They should stick that in M'ville...</p>

<p>Bad building decisions are compounded when your campus is 32 acres (not to mention setting the bar incredibly high with that gorgeous neoclassical campus)</p>
