Better than it is now. Especially at night when the ugly brown is not so evident...

Definitely not the worst structure in the city. The impressions do look really good though.

Its pretty alright, but I reckon they can do better. Ive been in the LAVA office, and the design is not amazing. They need to cover the front of the building where are the cars on the road have a look at the building, this will make the impression as you walk into the building a much more warm and friendly site. The building actually holds great history yet i admit it is pretty outdated. The interior of the building is actually very nice though. What I do know about this design is that there are some problems with it that UTS does not like.
