You’ve probably been wondering what the construction work on the field near the CFA (formerly Jackson Field) is all about.
I’m delighted to announce today that crews are preparing the new WESLEYAN PRESIDENTIAL COMPOUND. This will be a state of the art housing and office complex that will showcase the power of the central administration at the university. Full design plans are forthcoming, but here is the inspiration:
We’d love to hear your comments. Please leave a message on the blog (and be sure to note the date).
Definitely not see enough safe spaces!
You had me for a second!
Félicitations ! You got me and for a couple of seconds I was outraged. Excellent Poisson d’Avril.

I think it is a pity that it is so small.
It’s April Fool’s Day!
Love it! I hope there’s a room for the WesSquirrels too!
Maybe something a little more expansive would be better:

I assume Lola will have a major presence, a Wesleyan Dog Run perhaps??
Happy April 1! 🙂
And a Happy April Fool’s Day to you, too.

Hmm, will it be called Mar a Blogo?
This is a dream come true for me and I am sure for all who’ve thought the University needed more of an imperial feel. I can’t wait to visit ! It will give me such pleasure to have an excuse to go out to buy Armani and more… Thanks, Michael!
Should be taller. The tallest building in Middletown.
Hope I get an invitation to lunch!
How about redesigning the whole CFA complex, so it’s more artistic? Could include proposed presidential palace…
You’ve got to be kidding!
“the power of the central administration at the university”
So far over the top as to be ridiculous.
As someone appreciative of historic architecture I hope that the plans have not yet been finalized. The proportions of the proposed compound would overwhelm the CFA. A much better fit could be modeled after this:
