The Quad
Firstly we observed this area exactly as we did the previous areas and buildings, however specifically asking ourselves why? And what values are instilled within them. We looked at the landscape of the area and decided that their were eight buildigngs however it was called a quad because of the number of sides it has. It is a very enclosed area which means it has a privacy value incorporated into it, the landscape was evidently thouroughly thought out. For example, the trees have been purposefully placed on the adges of the building because of the value of the land and its purposes. This quad is specifically for upperclassman which makes it an exclusive area an gives it a supeririorty value against the other dorms on campus. It is also organized into the ‘quad’ shape.

Peabody park
This park has a lot of historic value because of the fact that many changes have been made over the years to this park in relation to the history of the building which teaches us a lot about the campus particularly showing off the fact that it was an all girls campus. It was originally left to the university as a place of nature to be held in symbyosis with the university. It was then decided that it should be put to use and the university decided to use it as a dairy farm for all the milk provided by the school, this gave the university independence in terms of prividing for students. We know that this park was originally a golf course made for the womeans golf team, this immediately tells us that the team was good.
Bryan business school
This building is one of the buildings that stand out from the rest in terms of the ways in which it organized, it is similar to a maze and very confusing to navigate and therefore finding things such as the center may be difficult. This could porssibly be due to the fact that the business is a popular and broad major and therefore more classrooms are needed. This building may have been placed here because it’s the most popular buildings therefore it was placed across from another popular building; The EUC. There is also administrative buildings around it such as the registrar’s building which suggests that this is the area of ‘business’ like buildings which gives it a value of convenience especially because it’s one of the first buildings that you notice when you turn off of Spring Garden street.
