Don't you guys think it will be so weired after the construction is done? Take a look at the surroundings. They are all old buildings, but this newest building looks like ETB. In my view, it is just not suited for that location.

That's just a picture. If you see it after it's completed, you'll know that behind the picture are JHE and BSB, both of which look rather modern (although JHE only looks like this from the outside because BSB was apparently renovated).

In the early 90s the university cut funding to the reactor and ever since then the reactor has been almost completely self-funded. It is sustained on the proceeds it receives from work done for industry such as imaging and the production of isotopes. Everyone should be thanking the reactor and NRB for bringing prestige to McMaster without incurring cost to the students. If you'd like to complain about your tuition being wasted, maybe go complain about the $7 million in internal capital that went towards construction in the Burlington Campus.

Isn't Burlington Go is only like a 20 min ride by Go bus...?

It may be. My point wasn't the fact that Burlington wasn't close or even that having a satellite campus was a bad idea, I just picked a random expenditure in the school's budget as an example of something people could complain about their tuition dollars being put towards, versus the NRB expansion which has nothing to do with their tuition dollars.
