I'm all for it, but where they putting the new library in that plan? It's a shame Middleton didn't just add onto the old Hill Library in the top left of the quad. He could have built the equivalent of Middleton Library behind it and kept the classic look of the quad, along with the classic look of the old library in the front entrance part.

Kind of misleading considering it is strictly limited to American Colleges.

Some European university libraries are much more impressive, like Trinity College in Dublin.

The Yale Bowl is pretty cool for what it is.

One of the sort of interesting tidbits with LSU here is, the spare look of both Middleton Library and the old South Endzone of Tiger Stadium was basically due to a compromise with the legislature in allocating state funds to build both at the same time.

Not really sure there is much of a need for Middleton anymore.

I for one never checked out/looked for a book at Middleton.

You can place the computer labs in a multitude of other, already existing buildings including the Union and Urec
