That said, many years ago I worked at Duke Medical Center and I recently had the opportunity to go back and see the place. Wow ... hardly recognized the place. Brand new state of the art facilities that are also beautifully designed and integrate very well with the gothic architecture of the older buildings. I was really impressed.
They are investing Billions over there at South Campus. Is it too much to ask that the area be functional AND look good/be well designed/have some eye appeal? Even the splashy new Jetson-fab ambulatory building? All you can see from Center City is some tan stucco cladding.

Its not much to look at especially from center city viewpoint.
