in Anderson-Clarke Center
Design & Layout: As far as the design and layout goes, it was actually pretty boring. Nothing exciting going on, no colors, just a plain, short block of text. I had to go to one of the links in the story to even get a picture. There were also a lot of ads on the sides.
The reason I chose this article was because I've always been interested in museums and things dealing with history, so this article caught my eye. This article was mainly about Rice University tearing down this Martel Center. The University states that "It was never intended to be a permanent building on the campus, and the cost to restore the structure for any possible use, and maintain it, is prohibitive." I found it interesting that a University of all places would tear down something so historical. I understand it's not something extremely important and it probably doesn't pertain to anything significant in history, but nonetheless, it's still history.
