One amazing piece of architecture, an interesting integration of the old facade and the new building. The central atrium on the second floor with a suspended sculptural art object and the stainless steel netting is the major statement. The dramatic established the space and call on the architecture students-to-be: here is the play that give joy to the navie spirit and excite the soul. Join the school and get your passion going. That is if you could be discipline to last five years to achieve the master in architecture.
Lovely place to visit, but sucks being a part of this faculty and having to work on your University projects here. The building is the most under equipped I've seen. No PCs are available EVER. They make you leave levels 3 and 4 if you aren't staff, and if you call them, you're put on hold for 1 hour.
terrible learning experience. A friend of mine and other 20 students was approved for a exchange program with an Europe school. The host school already approved their plan. But suddenly they reciveved a email saying MSD only allow about 5 student to go, chosen by random list. It's such arrogant faculty that care nothing about students' future. It's such a nightmare.
Very interesting building. An award winning architecture. Given the increased number of students they could have built another level and made more space available for students and staff alike. My favorite space and the staff kitchen and the rooftop garden.
Very modern architecture. The building foyer can be opened to the outside during warmer weather. Well appointed inside. Breakout areas, lots of natural light, meeting rooms and large lecture theatre in basement.
