Regarding the new Alumni Hall, why are they building this so far away from the core of campus? This should be in the heart of campus, or at least as close as the current one is, no? Maybe they want to save that land for future academic buildings?
I think you're right about saving land for future academic buildings. Alumni Hall has never really played a huge part in academics and is really just an event venue in the form of a frat house.

Also, I'm betting The University is going for another landmark gateway building like they did with nursing. I'm very interested to see how it'll turn out architecturally.
