I would like some real trees around the new Straub. Enough with the (by now boring) ornamental grass around campus.

I really like the new design, it’s modern and easier on the eyes. Make sure to have bike racks close by, possibly in the open areas on the north and south entrances though.

An inviting landscaped courtyard where people can hang out and study on nice days would be ideal

I’d propose some nice seating area in the North elevation from north courtyard…And in general for all of us wanna be athletes some more spontaneous recreation facilities outdoors…Gone are the outdoor Basketball courts across from bean, the central tennis courts, etc.. 1/2 basketball court somewhere, Workout stations somewhere? Thanks G

I feel that this changes the historic facade too much. Why not conserve the exterior’s design, but renovate it (if necessary) and expand from the existing facia? I love the ’tiled’ look, archways,
It’s an old building; let’s keep the ‘old’ feel but update it. With this face lift, you are removing the building’s character.

I agree with Marina. Update what needs to be updated for the new Straub, but update it in such a way that the building maintains its historical facade as much as possible.

This building should be sustainable. I don’t see enough (covered) bike racks, trees, or solar panels.
I also prefer the current historical style of the building, it is one of the only buildings like such remaining on campus and it would be a shame to lose.
