  1. 70 year old designs come with problems that newer designs manage. Will double-paned glass handle the inevitable heating/cooling problems? (That’s where the maintenance endowment comes in–it’ll cost a bundle.) What about light pollution? What about bird mortality? Mies’s generation didn’t think or care about such problems. The university should have thought about these issues.

    1. Stephen double pane is often used in our current buildings, the original plans were single-paned. Are you concerned for all the other modern buildings built with mostly glass curtain walls on the campus and the impact on birds there? This building is 1.5-2 stories tall. I think the birds will manage. I didn’t hear you at the trustee meetings complaining about the 3 previous building built with glass facades and the bird impacts.

  2. If interested in Indy’s landscape design legacy, including landscape designers and notable places see the The Cultural Landscape Foundation, a national nonprofit. Our city park system, based on George Kessler’s park-and-boulevard design, is one of the largest on the National Register of Historic Places.
