 Encyclopedia: McNamara Alumni Center
The McNamara Alumni Center, also known as the Gateway Building, at the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus in Minneapolis, Minnesota is one of the more architecturally-unique buildings in the area.
The building opened in February 2000 and is named for Richard McNamara, a 1956 alumnus of the University.
Probably the most enduring criticism, at least among students, is the fact that contributions from alumni went into building the $45 million structure rather than into academic scholarships.

 Commentary: 'U' alumni center is worth a look inside
And at first blush, the new McNamara Alumni Center/Gateway on the eastern edge of campus fits that image: The humongous granite-and-copper building rises like a beached ocean liner in a sea of parking lots near the corner of Oak St. and Washington Ave.
But freshman and returning alumni looking for a traditional, white-columned alumni center may find this building to be a more fitting metaphor for today's education.
That metaphor of building as geology is a reach, but the alumni center does offer a powerful metaphor for education: It's challenging, it's perplexing, it's inspiring, and sometimes it's even fun.

 Essay by Christopher Mead (Page 3)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The McNamara Alumni Center at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis (199 -2000) proves that a beautiful site is not needed to create a compelling equation of architecture with the land.
Wedged between the major traffic route of Washington Street on the south and Heritage Park Square on the north, the Center sits in the midst of residences to the east, warehouses to the south, a convention center to the west, and a row of relocated historic houses converted for commercial use to the north.
Bisected by the ascending slab of an occupied wall, the Center clusters to the north around the angled mass of a planetarium, which looms over partly submerged entry spaces, while to the south the curved volume of a film theater faces onto Washington Street.
