OK, so we're snarking about ugly college campuses and hideous concrete-monstrosity buildings.

So, how about a little positive mojo:  what are your favorite college/university buildings, and why?

Geisel library at UC San Diego. Not really aesthetically beautiful, maybe. But definitely striking. I spent many quarters - both academic and monetary - in that library.

The entire building is great, but the Wren Chapel in the Wren Building at William and Mary is particularly so.
