Kariotis Hall, a strange combination of the Red and White brick styles. continued from page 22 more thought to the aesthetics of the campus and not just mix and match. The first building to reflect the new sensibility wasjCargill Hall and the law school. It was built around an underground mall and used little of the white brick — quarried specifically for NU in Vermont — that had dominated the other buildings. The next ma- jor project was Kariotis Hall which split the border between the Red Brick and White Brick campuses and was built as a strange com- bination of the two in 1981. In 1984, the Snell Engineering Building was built as a departure from the other White Brick build- ings around it. With the construction of a new library scheduled to start in the next year (how many times have we heard that before), Northeast- ern campus design will take an- other step away from the tradi- tional white brick style. The new library will probably be five stories high and will contain some design elements from both the Ell Center and Snell, neither of which are di- rect copies of the White Brick, Bauhaus-Beaux Arts style. Still, Northeastern ' s design scheme is a unique one that is easily recogniz- able, even if most students con- sider it too utilitarian. In the next several years, most of the concrete quads are slated to be replaced with green space and some bricks as Northeastern attempts to soften its appearance. It ' s enough to make one wonder if a future stu- dent looking back through old yearbooks will smile at the quaint old four-story, white brick vocab- ulary as a relic of the past, rather than the dominating feature of Northeastern as we knew it. — David S.
