<p>When most think of college they see old marble or brick buildings. What are some campuses (campi?) that look modern? </p>
<p>Here's a little list I have sop far.
University of New South Wales in Australia
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. </p>
<p>I'm just curious and wanting to know.</p>
<p>Pepperdine Malibu</p>
<p>UC San Diego
[University</a> of California, San Diego - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California,_San_Diego]University”>University of California, San Diego - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>Yep, Pepperdine has modern/Mediterranean architecture.</p>
<p>UC San Diego has a totally modern campus considering the university is just 50 years old.</p>
<p>Brandeis.
All of its buildings (except for one) were built post-1948 and they are all built in a “contemporary” style (that is contemporary for the time that they were built).</p>
<p>Bryant University. Current suburban campus opened in 70s (was previously in downtown Providence next to Brown). Most buildings were built in 80s and 90s. Lots of contemporary brick and glass.</p>
<p>It’s also be interesting to know of any modern-looking campuses that are actually attractive. Some IMO, like SUNY-Albany and MIT, are urban horrors.</p>
<p>Not sure I would call MIT an urban horror. Just toured there last week and found it interesting. Main building is “traditional” old marble, but all others are eclectic variety of architecture styles, some quite unusual (by design–this is MIT). </p>
<p>Totally agree about Albany. 60s era concrete jungle.</p>
<p>Bryant’s modern campus is beautiful. Lots of greenery to go with the brick and glass. Nice lake right in the middle.</p>
<p>Illinois Institute of Technology (Mies van der Rohe).</p>
<p>^ haha I was just going to say that! Mies and Breuer are my faves :P</p>
<p>SUNY University at Buffalo (UB) North Campus is another urban jungle that’s truly hideous in my humble opinion. It’s ironic that this urban jungle is actually located out in a suburb in what was originally a swamp. In the woods that separate the parking lots from the nearby interstate, you can see wild turkeys and deer.</p>
<p>Rumor has it that UB-North, which was built in the late 60s or early 70s was specifically designed to make it difficult (if not impossible) for large student demonstrations to take place. There is nothing that even comes close to resembling a quad. No—it’s just the long Academic spine, surrounded by a sea of parking lots, surrounded by various dorm and apartment complexs and a four lane highway.</p>
<p>Newer schools such as UMBC, George Mason, and UT-Dallas tend to have more modern buildings.</p>
<p>McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario has lots of modern buildings while retaining a large central quad and a very nice location near the lake.</p>
<p>U Waterloo, also in Ontario, is a very modern campus.</p>
