Thanks to alphawoman1, I have a new place to put some photos: the Thursday Challenge. The week's theme is "Colorful." The photo is of my son's dorm at University of Chicago last year -- other corners on other sections are turquoise and yellow. Most of the U of C boasts architecture more in the mode of Gothic in the Extreme, but this building was designed by someone who focuses on themes related to the American Southwest:
The structure in the front is a monument marking the site of the first self-sustaining controlled nuclear chain reaction, which was initiated in an old handball court under the University's old stadium bleachers on December 2, 1942. Whether or not there should be such a monument is a matter of opinion, but there it is.
