Dislike wholeheartedly. It looks cheap and amateur hour. The designs are nice, but the rest are regrettable.

Yeah, I don't like this building either. Very cheap looking, even more so in person.

Agreed. Won’t age well. Especially amongst the rest of campus’ architecture.

That building is downright ugly. No business being in the middle of the main campus. It looks like the offspring of the downtown library.

The U of A must hate indigenous people since I can't think of any other reason why they saw fit to erect a cheap ugly building and call it a First People's House.

Yes, I think we ought to give a name to this style - the garden shed school of architecture. It is very ugly, apparently the public sector can do crap as well as or better than the private sector.
I do fell the quality of this and some other recent development speaks to the quality of the current management of the U of A. Cheap and ugly is in style.

There's a lot of talk in the classical music world about U of A's announcement (on very short notice) of plans to remove the old Casavant organ from Convocation Hall as part of the renovations. It's been picked up by the CBC and influential classical music blog Slipped Disc. Meanwhile, an op-ed in the Edmonton Journal makes the case for why it's necessary. Anna Lapwood (perhaps the most famous organist in the world) has shared this petition (started by former U of A keyboard prof Marnie Giesbrecht) against the removal.

Yup already at least 4 townhouse sections built. Filled in quite nicely.
