BSB is literally only building on the UIC East Campus that I would fight tooth and nail from being demo'd (...well, maybe UH and SEL). I absolutely loved it, both as a student and non student. The crazy stairways, the weird hallways, and the massive, cavernous lecture halls. BSB 250 was my favorite. You could get away with having a full volume conversation near the top rows and the professor wouldn't hear you.
Ahh, memories ;) |
Essex turning out to be quite the gem.

^ Gorgeous shots of a gorgeous building. Thanks!

Yeah this one's a real treat. It's the perfect spot for some green.

This could be added to multiple threads, but Essex sticks out for me

Beautiful. Thanks spyguy. If the columbian was doubled in height I think i might not complain as much about the south lacking height. But from this view I would love for a tower around halsted/roosevelt at uic softball diomend. Not going to happen, but if this recent greek town boom can travel farther south, development would make that photo look so extraordinary. And I know, its all uic property but that area could use a boost instead of the overpriced dorms i was living in at maxwell and Halsted.

I always considered this one a quiet beauty, and one of my favorites in this cycle.

Eh, short sh*t towers are less noticeable :)
That said, I don't think the Columbian is too bad, considering. I remember back in '05 most posters commending it for using actual brick for the exterior. I forgot if they stuck with that, or ended up VE-ing that idea and switching to a veneer. The brick color is nice as well, and differentiates it from the usual red brick we ended up seeing a lot of in the 00's. I wouldn't mind if it was 100-150 ft taller, but doubling its height might be a bit too much. |
The 18th street bridge over the river makes for a pretty cool vantage point for this tower and the other projects on the western side of the South Loop. I've never really figured out how to post pictures to this thing but if anyone else is on a picture expedition, that would be a great spot.
