Eh I don't really like the look of the. New business complex personally.
I wasn't a fan early on but the BEC has grown on me. I guess they're trying to give that part of campus a modern look, considering the plans for the Patrick F. Taylor Hall renovation:
All of the other new and renovated buildings that I can think of, however, follow the traditional campus styling.

Whoever designed the storm water drainage system on that building deserves a medal.

My guess is that they will regret this in 20 years. You can never go wrong with matching the existing architecture of the campus.

Yeah I've seen those plans. Not a fan. I'm sure Middleton looked modern too in the 60-70's and look what we have now, a ugly arse building in the middle of the quad. Not a smart idea

I noticed the name, "Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute" and realized that's the same name on Razorback Stadium. Then I looked Mr. Reynolds up and saw all that his foundation helped to build. Pretty impressive.

Geez, how are your trees already so green
Live oaks don't lose their leaves in winter and they fare well in south Louisiana were it's much more humid and far less dry than say San Antonio or central California.
Personally, I've come (over time) to appreciate the oak trees out West because they do lose their leaves. Makes for some really beautiful silhouettes at sunrise/sunset in wintertime. Oregon State's campus and the surrounding area has lots of white oaks. Reminds me a lot of south Louisiana but it's a little different because the oaks lose their leaves and white oaks have a much more rounded appearance (thus the nice silhouettes). Each type of oak is well suited to its particular environment. I wouldn't plant a live oak up here and the white oak would look funny in Baton Rouge. Stately oaks all the same.

His name's on the Mizzou alumni center as well.
Another Mizzou graduate doing good things for the world.
His foundation has certainly done a lot of good for a lot of places. I actually live about a mile from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation HQ. I keep thinking about going down there and asking them for a few bucks.

Agreed but luckily it's at the very edge of campus and not part of central campus.

Our campus is covered in Live Oaks--probably more so than most. There's little to no difference in the climates of College Station, TX and Baton Rouge, LA; yet our Live Oaks are just now shedding their spring leaves ... still a few weeks away from that glorious green we all know.

Baton Rouge has had 24 inches of rain so far this year. It's well above normal, but even normal would be 4 inches more than College Station right now.
College Station has had just under 8 inches or normal year to date.
Baton Rouge is wetter overall and the summers are slighly cooler and wetter than College Station.
Live oaks keep their leaves when they aren't stressed by too much heat or drought.
That's probably why LSU's oaks are nice and green right now.

Which makes complete sense, BrerTiger. Most of Texas is still coming out of that 100-year drought.
Gorgeous campus, LSU has.

In all seriousness, the fact that A&M's campus has live oaks, azaleas and crepe myrtles tells me all I need to know about whether A&M belongs in the SEC.
Mizzou on the other hand...
