Definitely agree about the library, however I think the new future honors college will be the the signature building on campus. I think I read that somewhere. Can't wait for those renderings to come out. About Cooper...Not another dollar needs to be sunk into that pile unless it's to tear it down. I really don't see how it can be renovated at all. What kills me the most about cooper is that this building houses tons of classes for incoming freshmen students. I remember thinking on my first day of classes back in '02, "This is college?" Not a great way to boost morale for so many eager, excited, incoming college students. I guess you can be cute, and think of it as a rite of passage for all bulls, but it's still kind of sad when your high school was ten times nicer than the [glow=yellow,2,300]new building[/glow] you'll be spending most of your time in as a freshmen. I think I found a flaw in your argument. Cooper Hall has to be more than 40 years old... not a "new" building by any means. Moreover, USF only has about 5,000 freshmen each year... and accepts far more transfers from other schools who don't have to take Freshman English or other "Gordon Rule" courses. Is the building terrible? Yup. It just doesn't have quite impact you might think. I'm an engineering transfer student and have only taken engineering related classes yet I've still had 3 classes in Cooper. 2 in the fall, 1 in the spring. I hate, hate, hate the smell of the subway bread or whatever it is. I had a class in a small room right behind Subway and every time I smelled it, I got nauseous. Cooper hall sucks but there are plenty of other buildings that suck more. Life Sciences and BEH come to mind. There isn't a single window in the phy/math building. ENB is the filthiest building I have ever been in. I feel like I need to go through a sanitation chamber whenever I leave. Fortunately, that can be changed...
