nostalgia
by Zia ~ October 17th, 2004. Filed under: Ephemera, Travel.I’m sitting here in the Stimson Room in the library doing a little work and marveling that some places never change. It’s not true to say that the library hasn’t changed at all–the reserved book area downstairs has been turned into an (eek) cafe–but the reference area is as gorgeous as ever with its vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows.
Although I can see that the Blanchard renovation makes good use of space, I still find it an absolute atrocity. The new addition looks cheap (although I am sure it wasn’t) and like a cross between an airport hub and a mcmansion. But Kendade, the new science building, is fabulous, gorgeous, and other supercomplimentary words. Hey, who knows? If that had been here when I was, perhaps I would be a neurosurgeon today.
Okay, maybe not.
In any case, I have taken pictures, so stay posted. One of these days I’ll get them up here.
