Dropping in onto campus in 1971, this is what Evans Hall looked like in the first 30 years of its unwelcome existence. It wasn't until a retrofitting project in the late 90's caused the side effect of pieces of concrete falling off the surface of the building that something was done to the exterior. I guess it might have looked better on paper. |
Whether or not the new surface of gray-green concrete makes Evans less ugly is open to debate. At least we dont' have to worry about getting beaned by falling concrete now. Granted, it does make the building blend in with hills behind campus better. It also makes the building look really evil. This picture was taken on an overcast day and was not edited in any way whatsoever. The smoke is coming from a ground level steam vent. |
