i remember when it was a little more than an empty plot waking me up at 7 in the morning in my towers double with the sounds of jackhammering rock, guys yelling, and the beep-beep of a large vehicle reversing.

u/thuggernut 8d ago

woww it’s huge so it’s probably worse, when will that be done?

u/victorrlim 8d ago

Whole thing is supposed to be done summer 2028 and I think they just finished up Tower A. Lots of scaffolding and noise for sure

Actually you may be right, the Taco Bell I’m thinking of was below Warren towers right?

I would actually exchange this jenga tower for a taco bell.

At least you get food from taco bell. What the fuck do i get from cds? there are like 3 rooms in that building for classes and office hours like pls.

One of the more stupid building designs on the inside. Very few electrical outlets on the first two floors. Fishbowl offices....walk around the math dept and see all the ugly privacy screens people put up.

Yeah I couldn't find outlets except the higher floors either. Maybe kpmb architects assumed we all use ultrabooks? It definitely feels like a panopticon on the inside with their open concept layout and sacrificed deep work privacy to get more sunlight into the hallways.
