The doors are open, and this appears to be close to finished. Or unfinished, as seems to be the intention.

definitely recognizable as an OMANY project, and it has its moments, but the things that are supposed to be well resolved aren’t resolved, which just makes the moments of deliberate roughness – like the painted insulation – look like mistakes.

Also, -50 points for the bleacher stair.

May have to differ slightly here.......... I would have taken off 60 points, LOL

Both pointless and ugly.

Sign 'learning commons' ugh.

In the photo below, I like a great deal of what I see, the spacial arrangement, the mix of old and new, the pops of colour...... but I really do not like the flooring here.

I'm fine w/new.........but the look to me is on the cheap side..........and I find all the chevrons way busy.

On the photo above.....I find the justaposition between the formal/ornate and the ultra cheap and casual too much. Either add doors, or give me some transition that's less jarring please.
