Looming Spam

The image depicts the stately new Glocker business building standing in front of a building that resembles a beige can of Spam. Glocker is a beautiful new building that matches UT's building style while the office complex stands out like a sore thumb. The iconic buildings are Gothic and have red tiled roofs. What does this say about the University of Tennessee? The "Spam can" office complex may be a reflection of how important the university thinks its office spaces are. Perhaps the building was built when less money was available in the construction fund. It is also possible that the bizarre shape was in style at the time it was built. Whatever the reason may be, we know there is a reason.
