  1. I still think of "UMass Design Building" as a terribly constructed sentence, where Design is a verb. Good job umass, you design building.

  3. The official title is Integrated Design Building, by the way. And it no different that the naming conventions used at UMass and other campuses. (See: Studio Arts Building, Integrated Science Center...)

    And yes, anon 1:20 they are spending money. Colleges NEED new buildings as enrollment grows, as technology evolves, as programs are introduced and just as buildings age and need to be replaced.

  5. No, colleges don't "need" new buildings, they don't "need" to spend like drunken sailors, they don't "need" to bankrupt generations of young people, and UMess doesn't "need" to bankrupt the Commonwealth.
