 @9e00b91e the Cathedral of Learning is definitely built in Gothic style. This photo is of one of the Nationality Classrooms and it is definitely not Gothic at all.  Sorry for the confusion.

 @d9095c4c 
Confusion is mine!
The Commons Room is surely a (neo-)Gothic hall. As for the building, IMHO, no.
Anyway, an interesting architectural project.
Now if you would like to see real Gothic buildings, visiting France is your goal …

 @9e00b91e totally agree.  As far as visiting France, so far, I have only been in Strasbourg. Their cathedral is at least partially Gothic. I have been in Germany multiple times and visited the Cologne Cathedral, which is large Gothic building, several times. But visiting France is definitely on my list. BTW, we just came back from St Pierre et Miquelon and visited French Polynesia last year and Guadeloupe and Martinique a few years ago. While definitely French, there is no Gothic architecture.
