Regarding Crosley Tower, a UC math professor told me decades ago, referencing former UC President Walter Langsam, that the faculty called the building "Langsam's Last Erection".

It tops my list of campus eyesores which we'll hope may soon be removed. The others are the remaining base level of Sander Hall and the modular buildings in the former Wilson Auditorium footprint. It could be argued that all three of these structures occupy high visibility locations and really detract from our amazing campus buildings and grounds and fail to create good first impressions for visitors.

What's the base level of Sanders hall? The modular buildings where Wilson was are going to be removed. They already announced a permanent structure is in the works and I think they are looking for architecture firms currently. I can't wait for Crosley tower to come down. Be interesting to see what they put in its place. The new DAAP building is complete I think, or close to it. They are doing work on the Church at the corner of Clifton and Probasco. You can newly installed ventilation work outside the building. I also don't think they will keep the ground surface lots across from DAAP. Seems like a big waste of space. I'm pretty sure the university also bought the old YMCA by Siddall and Calhoun.
