Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 3140997, member: 6809"] I see visual attractiveness to both designs though the roller coaster final they picked has no relation to any building on campus in its “Roof Shape.” But you could say other buildings do not relate to each other on campus either. The louvers give the effect of a solid side coming up from the ring. In Legacies rendering copy the bottom elevation looks quite nice. Painted white or concrete beige it would, as Cuse Only said, obscure the steel and relate somewhat other structures in that it looks more like a roof than a roller coaster. I'm guessing the accumulation of snow might have caused a problem with drainage with this design and may be why the roller coaster was the design that was chosen. Either way it's a new $118 M roof and will cause many conversations about it's “look” and we get to enjoy a newer sports facility inside and out when complete. [/QUOTE]
