Important centers at UNCG

Elliot university centerThere are a lot of aspects of the EUC that make it a center and there are many clues on the outside that tell us about the inside. The things that make the EUC center would be the fact that its where many events are held and main meeting places held. It holds orientation, the library, food court, information etc. It can be described as a ‘show-off’ building to the university. I think this because of the fact that the university re-vamps it every ten years. It is the first opportunity for people to understand the campus which is why the university try’s its best to keep it of a high standard. There are two crucial points within this specific center. They would be the stair case and the main front entrance. The shape and symmetry of the building shows that this is an important building and that it is visited frequently. The staircase acts as a directory to the building because it branches out to all sections. The symmetry of the building shows that it is important to the university, it also suggests that its a formal place. The hall is a circulation and information space. The university itself suggests that this is important and that the designer had a purpose. The two centers within the building are marked by circles on the floor as well as the ceilings the lighting in these areas are also more prevalent.
Jackson library
For this part of class we were asked where we thought the center of the library was. We all stood in different parts of the library which showed us that there was more than one center within the library. The first was the most obvious; the actual center where the building was at its highest point and where the lighting was . One that wasn’t particularly obvious was the front porch with the temple embedded in the front. The library is also connected to The EUC, this suggests that they are incoherent with each other and therefore the university decided to connect them. It also makes it easier for students to access two of the most important centers quickly and easily. This shows people, particularly perspective students that the main objective of the university is convenience.
The CAF
The CAF is very important center because its where everyone eats and it’s a gathering for students where they can relax in between or after classes. The CAF stands out from the other buildings because it is not symmetrical and somewhat like a maze just like the Bryan school of business. This lack of symmetry makes it more available to students because they can enter from any side; which ever is convenient at that moment. The CAF also attracts social events because of the fountain in front of it, the fountain is also an important place on campus and because it is situated in front of the CAF, it brings people there and therefore it makes the CAF important. The CAF also holds the mailboxes which connects student to their loved ones as well as sorority information which is in connection with extra curricular activities.
