Amherst has essentially outgrown its original Olmstead-designed hilltop site and what that means is that every building constructed since the 2000s gives the appearance of playing hide-and-seek with the rest of campus. Particular eyesores include the Merrill science center (of the same Brutalist school as the Wesleyan art center, but, with none of its saving graces), its own arts center which just barely qualifies as a modern building and, I’m afraid, its newest science center, which will require a lot of landscaping to disguise the fact that it looks like an automobile assembly plant.
