SWEATSHOP? NO, WELLESLEY COLLEGE SCIENCE CENTER
In his book, The Landscape and Architecture of Wellesley College, one of the authors, John Rhodes, describes the Science Center as a “late Corbusian, simple, straight-forward, direct, blunt, and honest” architectural feat. The design followed on the tail of 1960’s architecture, which emphasized people seeing the world as the way it is.

John Rhodes: "The colors and the expression of the exterior are a good reflection of the activities going on inside."
