Comments on: East Campus Final Design Unveiled http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2008/573/ Helping imagine a great college town for a great university Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:57:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: jeuill http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2008/573/comment-page-1/#comment-126424 jeuill Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:21:36 +0000 http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2008/573/#comment-126424 I was there last night. The presentation was nice. From what I can tell, the designs are nicely mixed between buildings. I especially like the designs of the theater and the Birchmere (industrial). I was always fond of what Baltimore did with the Power Plant at the harbor. The Birchmere design will take on the same genre of architecture. I also like the idea of having a restaurant in the same building. Though I do think the buildings facing Route 1., save the office building, are a bit bland. I feel they can be a little more creative with the hotel. I was there last night. The presentation was nice. From what I can tell, the designs are nicely mixed between buildings.

They're not nearly as attractive as the fraternities/sororities in old town, and they were poorly built by students back in the early '50s. Re-developing that land would help tie East Campus with Old Town... People seem to like Fraternity Row, but I think the houses are a waste of land.

Brick is fine, but it DOES come in many different colors. How about they mix it up a bit? How about perhaps giving the place a row house or brownstone look? Just without the stoops and steps.
