In actuality, this building ended up costing around $350-$400 million (depending on what professor you ask). My team and I was up there for a week setting up a cluster in the STATA building (among others). It's not quite as crazy on the inside, except for the brightly colored walls. It made me think of living in a Lego house.
Another odd quirk about the building (and the architect, Gehring) is that in most of the faculty offices there will be a dull, gray concrete pillar or two in the middle of the room. Not even the professors are able to paint the pillars or hang anything on them to cover their blandness (ugliness?)
