Bad idea and a waste of money. They need to raze the Eisenhower Library and build an entirely new one, something 21st century but in keeping with the Colonial style of architecture that matches the other buildings on campus. The Eisenhower looks like something straight out of the Brady Bunch, which is not surprising as it was built in the early 1960s. Look at the old Hullabaloo yearbook cover inserts from the 1920s and 30s, when they did artist renderings of what the campus might look like one day. There were plans for a giant domed library building that rose majestically into the sky. As long as we're building, why not think on a grand scale? They should also name the library for Professor Dick Macksey, not Brody. Oh, and while the bulldozers are there, they need to take down that ghastly eyesore Mattin Center too. Whoever greenlit that project at Hopkins should be fired.
