David - thanks for sharing this. My wife works in the building in the photo and the photo shows the back side of the building. Originally it was built as a dormitory. Maybe 1950's ? Of course Gammage is really the shining diamond in Tempe. ASU is going on a building tear. Many cranes on campus. 2018 student population: 103,567 of which 50K are in Tempe, 30K are 'on line'. Incoming Freshmen: 13,000. Obviously we don't go downtown when school is in session. David Dodge performed some extensive rehabilitation in the late 1980's, both interior and exterior.

The architects appear to have followed the lead of the designers for the movable acoustic shell shed (to the right in the first picture) and made the addition be "other" than the original building, clad with metal panel. I like that the elevator tower is located on the same side as the shell shed to keep a clean, unaltered view of the theater on the opposite side of the site.
