I'm not unbiased because I work at UAlbany now.
But as someone who used to think the campus was pretty ugly, I've come to really appreciate the logic and vision behind it. I dig it now.
I'll never think it's warm and inviting, but there is something very cool and grand about it in a way that would never, ever be built today.
All the concrete also makes the Podium West and Podium East gardens feel like these evergreen oases.
They're easily two of the nicest spots on campus.
