Just curious about everyone's favorite building on the ISU campus. I took out Hilton and JTS because I think those would get a ton of votes as they certainly have some of my fondest memories of ISU.


There are many more buildings than I could fit so I did my best to pick the ones that I thought had a chance to get votes. I left one spot for "other" so please write in one that you like that didn't make the list.

My heart says the MU and my wallet says the Hub.

The poll takes a long time especially with 25 choices. If we could do more than 25, I'd put more in.

If there are a ton of others, I'll break it down to favorite engineer/residence/athletic building ect.

Had to go with MU as choice #1, but Ross Hall would be #2.

It would have to be between Friley and State. Tough call since you saddled Friley with Helser and State with Beyer. In the end I went with Friley. They served food there.

Alright, as far as what I actually think is my favorite based solely on the building, Beardshear is by far the coolest building.

As far as sentimental value, it's probably Friley or Music Hall.

As far as buildings in my major, I am a Black Hall apologist!:biglaugh: I don't care if it's too dark, I loved that building and its computer lab that I didn't have to wait around to use and my crappy little IAC office downstairs.

mjones, I agree with Town, I spent way too many hours in that building not to mention it in this thread. But I ended up going with State/Beyer cause I met my wife running on the track at State. Nothin says true love like 12.5 laps=mile (or whatever it was).
