Would love to see another perspective of the rendering.

One problem is that with the mass of these big science and medical buildings, they have abandoned the University's typical quadrangle layout and line them up against the street. So you end up with a lot of concrete and asphalt at the street level.
I'm curious to see what the main entrance looks like. There doesn't appear to be one in the photo that was released. So perhaps it is on the opposite side of the building. Although it's rather curious the entrance faces away from the ER and CCD.
But I hope people will send comments / suggestions to University and Alderman.
They made some changes to the Sophy Hotel when people thought it looked a bit suburban.
