I've listed this article for peer review because...it is an atypical list. Instead of just listing buildings, I have written short or medium length notes about each building. There really aren't any featured lists of college buildings,so I kind of built it as I went. This article has been expanded significantly in the last few months, and I believe that it might be close to qualifying as a Featured List.
First of all, excellent list! It's funny, I was recently thinking about doing this same thing for my own school. It's looking very nice already, with a little bit of work I'm sure it would pass FLC. My comments:
Remove bold formatting of building names in the prose - this is only done with the first mention of the article title. See
WP:MOSBOLD.--done
Is there a difference between Washington College and Washington Academy? If so, what is Washington Academy?
"Through its history, McMillan Hall..." 'Throughout' would probably work better here.--done
I notice many uses of "College" (uppercase) when the proper name isn't being used. Shouldn't this be lowercase?
Yeah. I think I got them all.
"In 2002, the Old Gym was renovated to make room for the Swanson Wellness Center" - Make it clear that the Swanson Wellness Center is a part of Old Gym (I had to look at
Old Gym to understand this sentence).
"Electrical Engineering Building" again, unless proper - should be lowercase.
Yeah, that's a proper name.
"50,000 foot2" The superscript here seems very awkward to me.
WP:UNIT says to always use superscripts, but personally I've only seen "square foot" before. What's your opinion?
I used the {{Ft2 to m2}} template to change them out, and I think it looks better.
"as well as the Yost Auditorium, asn 84-seat lecture hall" typo?--done
"A statute of a coal miner" I'm thinking it should be statue.--embarrassing typo. done
"It was designed to satisfy the LEED Silver qualifications for green buildings" Does it satisfy those qualifications? If the info is available, add it.
Yeah, I wrote it that way, because I don't think the building has been certified yet.
Not convinced I need to know which streets border the campus.
Yeah, I was trying to find some evidence to show that the college extends into the
East Washington Historic District, which I couldn't find. I'll probably cut that during the FLC if other people don't see it as important. I'm non-committal on that sentence.--

"Present-day McMillan Hall,..." is that sentence not a fragment? Couldn't see a verb... (so no period required). Check other captions. -done
I would link mace appropriately.-done
2 story->two-story -done
"26 note " -> 26-note -done
"an 1881 alumni" alumnus (singular)-done
"in Summer 2008" any reason to capitalise summer?-No good reason, so fixed
"group of alumni on" you link alumni after the first use of alumn[i].-done
[86][47] please put these in numerical order.-done
You have mixed date formats in the references (e.g. ref 32 has June 18, 2006 for its date while most other dates in the refs are ISO).-done
En-dashes for year ranges. Ref 44 for instance needs an en-dash, not a hyphen.
Not a lot I can find that hasn't been brought up. I ran a script to fix the dashes mentioned above and fixed the order of a few references for you. -Thanks!
"ADMINISTRATION BUILDING" doesn't need to be in all caps. --done
