Another Mies building is facing possible demolition, this time in the "gunnery" (AKA "watch stand" building) on a southwest corner of the campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). Edward Lifson has the details.
hmm... especially after unloading $3.6 mil on the crown hall renovation w/ spirited arguments over whether the original details should be maintained or modified to make it weather better and take load of heavier panes...

How can this happen in the Land of Mies? Didn't the IIT campus get more building-proud after their Koolhaas addition?

Did they really argue over that, holz? Somehow I feel Mies would have laughed at them.
