I heard from the grapevine that the lawsuit is just a necessary step in making a claim on the insurance policy that was taken out just for this type of 'repair'. Not sure if that is true.
As for the building. The first floor is great, it is huge and provides plenty of space for eating lunch, having a chat, or just sitting (which is in short supply elsewhere on campus). There are some funny things about the construction that I've noticed, for instance, there is a lot of bare concrete (which would be covered in a 'normal' building) so the construction crews have written specs, measurements, etc on them and in a few places there are soda cans and chip bags exposed in the concrete.
take it or leave it? i'd leave it and opt for a more functional building at a fraction of the cost (like the brain and cog. science building across the street)
