I think his angle is he thinks this is an efficient design and the best use of his money.
Keeping 4500 students in a single 11 storey building is pretty efficient. And using all the natural light space for common areas and classroom is pretty novel.
It’s hard for me to know Munger’s mind, but I think his donation is intended to improve how dorms are designed beyond this single building and school. So his investment is not to just house these students, but to help colleges better house students.

- prepend 5y agoGood point. I should clarify my comment by saying “After reading the article, it’s hard for me to know Munger’s mind as to the motivation he has in funding this building…”
