This entry is a mini photo thread.
The horror! I'll be in Champaign in 4 weeks to check out this monstrosity with my own eyes. Ugh!
While I think it could have been done better, I think the bell tower is looking OK. I like the changing geometric shape of it. (If you want to see a monstrosity, go see Burnham 310...don't get me started on that.)
My only concern with the tower is that they do not make it too plain. The renderings show a plain face of brick. I think the appearance would be improved if they did some form of alternating brick patterning around the porticos and edges and if they incorporated some stone elements into the facade.
Any "Eye of Sauron" photos?
No, but the Daily Illini has a real nice photo-
Oh think of the other great ways this money could have been spent, Comp. Labs, Research, Renowned and Promising Visiting Faculty, but a bell tower? Waste of Money.
