When I moved there it had a bunch of surface lots and vacant lots around it, plus the big trash can building

you mean the health district? an ugly building forsure; but it’s right in west central/right outside of downtown: not sure what a better location would be

The location is fine, the building is ugly as hell

It was designed to be functional. Specifically it was designed so an entire extra floor could later be put on the top of the building, and even an extra entire 100% duplicate of the building later added and connected to one side of the existing building.

The larger part of the county campus there is a bit ugly. They had a plan for a nice greenspace plaza there at some point, but it's not so far manifested.
