The New School University Design is Clearly Amazing

The New School University is the kind of school that could make students with the worst attendance records want to come to class--even if it was just to come and stare at this beautiful, partially see-through building.

The design is the brainchild of Roger Duffy from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The New School University is just as nice to look at on the inside as it is on the outside. The randomly-placed clear glass that covers a portion of the lower half of the build provides a sneak peek, but for a better look, check out the gallery to see more of the modern interior.
