I thought when reading the headline that this would be a graphic that compared the various building campaigns that occurred during each chancellors’ tenure, (i.e. 12 campus plans at the beginning/end of each) showing the most recent campus expansion into the city.

SU has put up some good looking building… that have stood the test of time from a design perspective. AND SU has some disasters.
