text: It may prove irrelevant for services it houses, but judging from the RG's photo, this "remodeled" building is a forbidding architectural disaster (akin to Junction City's psychiatric hospital).  Were I a prospective patient, I'd hesitate to enter. Escalating criticisms of the raft of ugly (or at least totally undistinguished) large buildings that have sprung up in Eugene over the past two decades raise the question: "why such a glut of mediocrity here?"  I now live near Boulder, Colorado to which Eugene is sometimes compared (often unfavorably) where new construction and well preserved historic structures generally complement each other and provide a vibrant, organic, people friendly whole. Meanwhile Eugene, having wantonly destroyed most of its built heritage allows and suffers from Capstone, downtown LCC, the Hub, and now Oregon Medical Group's monstrosity, to mention only a few. Apparently the powers-that-be lack the vision or stamina to attack this culture of mediocrity.
