Ida Noyes
One interesting quote from the Alumni Celebration came from the architect of the new Hyde Park Center - Rafael Vinoly. He said, in front of the University of Chicago President, that the GSB should eventually have Ida Noyes. He noted he shouldn't say it, but he seems to be the kind of guy that really doesn't care what he should or shouldn't say. Of course I'll agree with him, and probably in the long term it will be the case.
Ida Noyes is probably one of the coolest buildings on campus, and recently I read that it has a pool in one wing.
Tonight, while waiting for the pub to open (basement of Ida Noyes) I walked around and found the pool. I won't say that I was sneaking, but I did try to walk quietly while exploring...is that sneaking?
Just think of the awesome things this pool could become for the GSB...if nothing else convert it into a suana and hot tubs for the Chicago winters!
I apologize for the low res picture, but it's the only thing my Treo 600 could manage.
How funny. Walking to the LPF on Friday I seriously thought to myself -- all the GSB needs is a pool! I knew there had to be one around somewhere. :)
