Yeaaahhh NSU!

The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation is rallying the troops against the New School's long-planned new building, which would replace the Albert List building at 65 Fifth Avenue. Of the 350-foot-tall proposal, GVSHP writes: "GVSHP has consistently raised concerns about the project with The New School, including the all-glass facade, and the extreme massiveness of the proposed building, which would dwarf most buildings around it. The New School has responded to concerns expressed by GVSHP and others about their initial plan to have different colored lights projecting from the building by removing that element from the plan. However, the all-glass facade remains, and the estimated size of the new building has not only not shrunk, it has actually grown." There's a public meeting next Thursday at 6pm in the New School's Tishman Auditorium to discuss the project. [Curbed]

GVSHP, fuck you. I pay way too much money a year to try to fight for one of the 20 practice rooms that my school currently has on the two floors of a building. So I'm soooo sorry that it will block your view. How about you move to Brooklyn.
