I know that this is a tall building, but does it look a bit stumpy to anyone? Especially from an angle like in the above pic...

Kind of, yes. I'm also not sold on the drab colour.

Wait for Phase 2, going to seem packed in when that tower goes up. Hopefully they pull the trigger on that one soon.

Haven't heard of a phase 2.
It's a damn nice student residence and a major upgrade from the original proposal.

We have a Phase 2 thread and I made the thread from last year with elevation renderings with a link

I still think phase 2 looks boring compared to phase 1 - no curves, no angles, just blockiness and glass.

Phase 2 was a basic massing only used to show for the purposes of a minor variance that phase 1 did not make a tower impractical on the phase 2 site.
It is in no way an actual building design.

I have heard that phase 2 is churning in the background and the many grants for student housing are moving it along.
So for people in Hamilton, what is the deal with Mohawk College and not having a downtown presence?

Mohawk just purchased the Columbia college residence to use as their residence.
If you're asking about education, I don't see why they would build a satellite campus downtown. McMaster barely has any education uses downtown as it is, and Mohawk already has the Stoney Creek Campus, a satellite portion on McMaster's main campus and Mohawk has plenty of space at the Fennel Campus for expansion.
Not to say I wouldn't like to see more education, jobs, students and institutions downtown, but I just don't see them doing it for a long time if ever.

Ah. I've actually seen this drawing before

They have a branch in stoney creek, and they DID have one in brantford, although I dunno if they still do. To be fair mohawk is just up the mountain from downtown - it's not that far away.
