atboyslimisgod has made a comment on Cooper Union I feel is endangering community, Cooper like NYU greedy real estate magnate: Despite my spoiled and greedy tendencies as a cooper union student, i have too agree with this video. The mega studio building is clearly a excessive and greedy use of space for the cooper union art program. There is no rationalization for tearing down the vacant yellow building when funding could easily be obtained by greatly downsizing or eliminatiion the art portion of the cooper union.

Gee whiz -- at least your president admits Cooper Union is a real estate magnate. Duh, it wasn't a vacant building until Cooper Union emptied it out. Even Rudy's city planner said no to this corrupt wheeling and dealing. I am told he said no, this is a shell game.
Thanks again for underscoring my point about art students that support the tear down and destruction of the community. Art students were anti-establishment but now they are about greed and destruction...especially of the East Village and Peter Cooper has to be turning over in his grave.
Oh gee, he came back so say some more...he writes:
The absbestos and inevitable colapse of the building due to the subway tunnel located a mere 150 feet from the closest corner of the building make it an ideal location for the humanities department. Furthermore the watermain could soak the relocated library there. The fact that Thom Mayne, a non cooper graduate was chosen to build the mega studio building proves that cooper artists and architects dont contribute to the community by producing enviromentally friendly buildings.
Folks here is the water main break that Cooper Union wants you to know was not there fault. This water main break happened one block from Cooper Union's hideous inappropriate studio building and gee whiz -- the street in that intersection keep breaking open after all this time....dear dear http://www.ny1.com/1-all-boroughs-news-content/top_stories/?SecID=1000&ArID=69978
Thanks again Cooper Union art student that calls himself atboyslimisgod for sharing -- you make Cooper Union proud!!!!! Peter Cooper is turning over in his grave!!!!!!!
Gee cooper union student -- duh, do ya think your school could build a building that respected the zoning and actually was devoted to education rather than zone busting, weighing heavy on our old dilapidated infrastructures and gee whiz stop using terms like higher education and community facility to bust through our zoning and the building have nothing to do with education but purely about real estate greed. Duh, Cooper Union busts through zoning and than land leases the property like the sky piercing mirrored building on what was a parking lot or the little yellow building you refer to that will be sky piercing, busts through zoning and Cooper Union is going to lease for 99 years.
Gee whiz you willfully obtuse Cooper Union student...duh, ya think the community welcomes all these zone busting hideous ugly buildings? And gee whiz we know Cooper Union says the two water main breaks with in one block of your hideous ugly studio building had nothing to do with all your heavy construction work!!! Uh, huh!!!!!
Thanks Cooper Union for showing the ugly insensitivity that Cooper Union is all about. At least some NYU students have told me they do not approve of what NYU has done.
I think this guy is stupid just like the NYU students that desperately want to show they just don't care about how their greedy corrupt schools crush our communities. At least I got to stand with some Columbia University students at a protest of Columbia U. abuse of eminent domain and they had the guts, humanity and caring to say "Not in our name!"
