Yup. They got rid of the futuristic design a long time ago in favor of the more traditional look

Wow...even the frat stars in the new designed building are allowed to loiter at the expense of being forced to dress differently...

The initial designs were only for fundraising and never actually going to be utilized.

Futuristic designs always look really dated after 15-20 years. Best to go with timeless architecture.
