He is resigning in protest:

McFadden resigned from his role as a consulting architect of 15 years on the university's design review committee over the project, saying he was "disturbed" by the design of the building, The Washington Post reported.

Munger Hall was conceived by billionaire investor Charles Munger, who donated $200 million to the project, which has an overall budget of about $1.5 billion.

While the gigantic Munger Hall would have fourteen entrances and exits, 94 per cent of students living in it would reportedly be in windowless rooms. The single-occupancy bedrooms would instead feature virtual windows that would simulate sunlight.

Although he was a consulting architect for the university for 15 years, there was no review of the design offered, and "no changes are possible".
