You are mistaken.

The new roof, if the design is accurate, is an arch that connects the north and south sides of the building.

The roof does not extend to the top of the building walls on the eastern and western sides of the building.  Those will be left open, with the gap between what is left of the existing walls and the roof presumably made of see through EFTE.  Please review the designs below.

This is the fundamental difference between a dome and an arched roof.

Regardless of whether SU chooses to use a vastly different dome design or an arch roof design, there are many other fundamental differences besides the roof between the building Carrier paid to name back in 1979 and the proposed facility SU will be building in the next few years.

I will be forever grateful that Carrier came up with the money to help get the Dome built.  Hwever,it is my position that when the appearance and functionality of most of a building has been changed dramatically, it is no longer the same building.

The courts may end up deciding who is right here and if so, I believe they will agree with me.  I hope UTC does the right thing and ponies up a fair price for naming rights for the new facility without a protracted legal fight.  The original naming gift was a great move for both parties and I believe the new naming gift will again greatly benefit all involved.
