The
appearance of the outside of the building and the things that
impress visitors are the sacred issues
Oh man, did
you ever get that right (not that I am surprised). The project
manager or whatever his title was at the time sat in meeting
with the chemistry faculty at the time and said that they were
designing for street appeal and not function - I heard him say
it. This was over the fact that they wanted all these angles in
the facade which cost tons of extra money (hence no freight
elevator) and columns in the most inconvenient places in rooms.
We wanted a building with nice rectangular hallways and more
space.
