Brian,

One of our fomer governors, Nelson Rockefeller, had the SUNY campus of 
Purchase (Westchester just north of NYC) built of brick, he owned the 
brick manufacturer, but also the campus was designed for quick 
deployment of anti-personnel vehicles and crowd containment lest the 
students riot. Not even knowing that to simply walk in the main campus 
gives one the creeps. Be paranoid.

K:

Come to think of it the three late-60's buildings we have here on our campus were built like that.  Gun-slit windows, up high, lack of windows down low, the first floor stepped back under the second.

The pre-cast waffles on the sides remind me of the UMass/Amherst campus.  All the buildings of a certain era (late 60's I think) were in that style.  

Those overhanging second floors actually protect people who make it to the door.  Can't dump the oil directly on them.
