Burke Hall is a true piece of shite at Alabama.

Not sure if it’s still there, but when I was at UA the Russell Student Health Center was also a hell hole.

You forgot Langford comrade.



You might be thinking to yourself, “gawd almighty that’s an ugly sumbitch. It must be depressing to go there everyday...”

And you’d be right.
It’s embarassing, if not ironic, that the architecture school is the ugliest building on campus - a true feat on its own.

Enjoy, the best of the 40 Acres:


The Jesse H. Jones Communication Center, cause who needs windows


Robert Lee Moore Hall, named after a famed mathematician and notorious racist, and home to physics, math, and astronomy. At least there's a telescope up top on the roof.


And lastly, the fattest eyesore on I-35, the Frank Erwin Center. Thank God this baby won't last much longer

I'm sure there's better/worse, but for the sake of showing off buildings I haven't seen in this thread:

Worst (Allen Hall)


We have a similarly designed ugly building, Coker Life Sciences:

It actually got a decent facelift after nursing moved into their new building.

You mean the Chick-Fil-A on-campus. That's the only "our" you could be associated with, although you strike me more as an Arby's tray wiper.

I hear rumors that Haley Center is not long for this world, which would greatly improve the center of AU's campus.


Yeah, it's ugly. But it's a rite of passage surviving it's confusing corridors as freshman.

Our union is looking way better than it was a few years ago. Nothing is uglier than our biology building (Shoemaker Hall) IMHO

We pretty much tore down or are about to tear down all of our (few) ugly buildings from the 1970s.
