Seeing red
So the painting continues, and so do the opinions. So far, sentiment is running about two-to-one against the red paint job, although if you include the people who like the red color but think that all red walls are going to be too much it's closer to half and half. Since it's not done yet, and there's still no word on what color the as-yet-unpainted walls will be, the jury is still out.
But who really cares what the faculty, students, and staff who will be actually using the building think? I'm much more curious about you, the people I randomly know on the Internet.

...also, at least it's not yellow? Talk about hurting.

No arguing with that. Plus, I'm really not a fan of yellow. If I have to choose between looking at red all day and looking at yellow, red wins every time.

That said, I work at a porn company. XD
I think it might be a bit disconcerting in an academic setting but I'm so used to painted-white cinderblock walls, I've probably been brainwashed by the un-spiffyness of my mid-1960s university. ;)
...and ironically, I'm listening to David Bowie's "Let's Dance." Speaking of red shoes...

Heh! I keep thinking of the Elvis Costello song myself.
As for the academic setting, I work at a commercial art school. So I think the expectations of students and visitors is a little different than it would be at a traditional university. It does interest me, though, that the people who are most unhappy with the new color are the interior design faculty.... you'd think *someone* would have thought to ask them.

LOL. You'd think!
