In 1958, the ambience of the original Quad was destroyed when the plopped Middleton Library down in the middle of it. So what most of us under the age of 80 know as the Quad is only a fraction of what it once was. But Middleton will be coming down within the next 10 years (we hope) and returning the original Quad to all its glory.

Troy Middleton's stated rationale for destroying the aesthetic there was so fricking stupid, as well. Could have easily expanded the original Hill Library, or built it where the Union or Lockett Hall is. It's criminal anyone let him plop that monstrosity smack in the middle of the original cruciform.
