- @Buidhe: thank you for the review. Why are you approving it if you disagree with the wording? I changed palatial to "towering" in the article, as per the source, but I am having trouble using this term in the hook. Putting it in quotes will also distract from the hook. The campus is at least a block square, though I have not found a source to verify this, and it really is palatial–my photograph shows only the front, while the building climbs higher and higher to the rear.

- Yoninah, if it's mentioned in a source I think it would be ok. Since you didn't use the word in the article, I had assumed that was not the case. buidhe 23:49, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
