The New School University is the kind of school that could make students with the worst attendance records want to come to class--even if it was just to come and stare at this beautiful, partially see-through building.
The design is the brainchild of Roger Duffy from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The New School University is just as nice to look at on the inside as it is on the outside. The randomly-placed clear glass that covers a portion of the lower half of the build provides a sneak peek, but for a better look, check out the gallery to see more of the modern interior.
