Architectural Digest: University of Cincinnati building among ugliest university buildings in U.S.

The University of Cincinnati may be home to a striking eco-friendly dorm building accurately described as the "Glass Tower," but that building isn't the one catching the eyes of Architectural Digest.

Rather, it's Crosley Tower, the 16-story building famously poured as a single piece of concrete that overlooks the west sector of campus.

Why? Because it's ugly. One of the ugliest university buildings in the country, even, according to the so-called international design authority.

The building, featured atop a recent list of the ugliest university buildings in America, "looks more like a Disney villain's lair than a part of the University of Cincinnati’s campus," the design publication wrote.

Harsh? Maybe to some. But to others, the design publication is just catching up.

A year ago, Reddit users on the subreddit r/evilbuildings bashed Crosley Tower as a "big ugly building" and a "complete architectural fail."

One user went so far as to say it "looks like a giant robot doing the Macarena."

But while the building itself may be an eyesore, the panoramic views from the top are anything but.

Structures joining the Crosley Tower on the ugly list include the University of Tennessee's John C. Hodges Library, Louisiana State University's Health Sciences Center, and Harvard University's One Western Avenue.
