A couple of years ago, Barnard College finally demolished a small squat, 1970's concrete building on 119th and Broadway and has been constructing a low rise glass structure on the lot. The glass has just gone up and, as one can see on the photo, each window is framed with solid orange panels and has the painted-on, gradating window color that seems to be a swipe from the Frank Gehry school. The glass is definitely better than 1970's poured concrete, but windows with painted-on shading is starting to look old already. At least they kept this one low to the ground unlike its sibling across the way, which is still in the starting phase but is already taller than the McKim, Mead and White buildings surrounding it.
