This just out a couple of days ago:
http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=290578&ac=PHnws . It
sounds like quite an impressive structure:

   "Designed by Koetter Kim & Associates of Boston, the three-story
   building at the intersection of Bedford Street and Forest Avenue now
   marks the gateway to the campus. The highly visible structure is
   distinctive, in part, because of the aluminum panels that clad the
   upper levels. More than 100 of them are part of the 156-foot etching
   of the Dymaxion Map."
