We are all familiar with VCU’s infamous construction schemes. We’ve fought them, protested, spoke out against the budget and its strange mechanics. We’ve all said phrases like, “How can they build these monstrocities when we can’t even get into a class?” We complain that we don’t need a new addition to the University Student Commons (what is going to be in that thing anyways?), or we are annoyed that we have to wear a hard hat on the way to class.
