The number of times that I lined up/stepped up to convince a football or rugby player from our faculty to let me in to get ahold of a $1.85 Beam and coke slush or a $6 pitcher of Grasshopper...
Good times.

...and don't get me started about Inga's night out.

I never would have guessed in a million years this angle. @Kaizen @Platinum107 but makes sense with the two bridges

Building Our Campus Crossroads: Spotlight on Dentistry/Pharmacy Centre
Take a look at the progress on the Dentistry/Pharmacy Centre renewal project.

I'm glad to see that they're trying to maintain the historical character of the interior (or at least parts of it). I still worry about the beautiful lobby that @_Citizen_Dane_ shared a picture of. I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be preserved.

I think the only part I'm disappointed in is the fact that they didn't take the opportunity to somehow link this building with the Rutherford library or a direct link to the LRT station or both.

^ Rutherford had some renos done maybe a year or two prior to this kicking off where they removed the turnstile entrance on the second floor of Rutherford North in the SW corner. Not sure what they did with that space because there wasn't really anything there last I saw. Would have made a pretty good spot to connect a pedway to the NE corner of DentPharm. I wonder if that was ever in their cards, wasn't really sure why they removed that second entrance otherwise.

I'd love to see this building close up. I think that glass glazing might look really good but hard to see from here.

^I can tell you it's looking good. I didn't have a chance to grab pictures, but when I went by yesterday a lot more glazing had been put up. As you can see in your picture, the west side's been half covered, and a decent amount has been put up along the south side. Two new sunken doorways, on either side of the main entrance, have also been carved out, and the old brick hallway connecting it to SAB has been demolished.
It looks like they are:

Sorry for the poor quality, but I was at an appointment and realized that I could see the new Dent/Pharm addon from across the river!

I agree although I hope that when it's all completed it will in turn perhaps will be enough of a contrast that it will further feature the original building.
But indeed in a perfect world I would prefer to see no building behind the original.

Too many trees in front of the building for good viewing. Trees are nice, but their positioning needs to be carefully considered.
