Long before ground was broken this spring for the Max Palevsky Residential Commons, the College community and the building's architect were at work, planning what they hope will be a happy ending.
College is hectic.
Arguing about what a categorical imperative really is can be intense. Eventually, most U of C undergraduates seek a respite from the intensity of college, Chicago-style. In an interview with Architectural Record, Legorreta said that he cannot separate architecture from happiness and instills it in all his buildings. I hope that students will feel comfortable and happy in the residence halls and feel encouraged towards friendship and human values. Steve Klass, deputy dean of student services for housing and dining services and assistant dean of the College, experienced what Dillon describes when he went to visit Legorreta in Mexico.
