If you like that, I've got a whole campus down in Dartmouth you'll LOVE.

Umass Boston's original host of awful buildings definitely belongs in the running. They also decided to fuck with thousands of people per day by building the main library stairs on a slant, so when going up your right leg has to step further than your left, and vice-versa on the way down.

It's probably apocryphal, but I heard that the campus was designed to limit the ability of students to assemble/demonstrate in response to 60s activisim.

Yeah, I believe it's called Seige Architecture. See: Worcester Police HQ for a prime example.

UMass Boston has a very deep history of inside politicians having a say in building. And rebuilding that mess.
