The Health Sciences Center building at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, looks like "Kronos" from the 1950s horror movie. Many other weird things also on campus but, alas, the bridge to nowhere now goes somewhere. The inside of the Health Sciences Center looks like the interior of a space station.
