Today’s postcard view comes from what is today known as Essex Hall at the University of Windsor. The building looks nice and new in this postcard, and it was then known as the Physical & Applied Sciences Building. The building was built in 1963.

I was just on a rare visit to my alma mater's campus yesterday and was admiring this very 'gull-wing' canopy. I believe the entire building is due for a reno once Engineering vacates Essex Hall South--I believe Science is remaining in Essex Hall North. The building's exterior is suffering from 'deferred maintenance'--I just hope when the reno comes that the building's modernist elements survive and aren't butchered. No idea what the plan for tenancy is--perhaps Fine Arts...getting Music out of the bowling alley and Visual Arts out of the Studebaker warehouse?
On a related note, I noticed what you called the "building eaters" have been hard at work on Sunset in the area around Clark Residence and Alumni Hall--not many of the old residential properties left--just a few sitting on the street like islands.
I work at the university and have spent a fair amount of time in this building. Many of the interior corridors and labs/rooms have been renovated recently but the exterior is in awful shape.
