| The 24 hour study center is about the most 'design by committee' failure I can think of. If you want a quiet place to study, you have two options: 1) The library, where you're essentially locked into a maze with no quick access to the outside world should you need a break, or 2) The 24 hour study center, which, depending on the day and whatever public event might be being featured in the atrium, might be the worst possible place in the school to try and get any work done. |
| Also, with regards to the 24 hour study center, why aren't there more than 4 desks without computers? A 50/50 ratio of desks with computers to desks without computers would be great. I need desk space more than I need a computer. And how about subdividing the 9th level of the library to one side that has computers and another side that has none, for a truly quiet place to study? Or maybe get some keyboards that aren't ridiculously loud. That is all. |
| A quad would be great. I would take out the parking lot in front of Anderson. Put it sideways along the road. Put the "water pond" in front of Anderson and put parking where the water pond is now. The student hub would be great as well as a theatre up on the hill. |
| I think a quad could be great too - I've also thought that the 'bowl' between the library and Uhall to the west would make a great amphitheatre and public stage. The campus needs a 'heart'. |
| If Uhall were a vertical building instead of a horizontal one, it would have an elevator to aid in traversing its longest dimension. How about airport-style moving sidewalks? I was once in a meeting at one end of UHall and my office is at the other. It took me 20 minutes to go get notes I'd forgotten - by that time, the meeting was half done. Stressful when teaching, too - I do cut students slack about arriving late to class (although it can be disruptive when they do). |
| I really like the layout of the school. I think it's smart and it makes sense for me. The only thing I would like to see happen is some method of quicker travel. I said in question #1 that the UofL uses the entire campus for every student, yet if you have a class in one part of the school, you might have to book it to the other side in a ten minute period. I also live off-campus and, while parking is great, it would be nice if there was a faster way to get from the top to the bottom of the hill... |
| Quad would be nice, as long as natural xeriscaping is utilized (rough fescue rather than kentucky blue grass perhaps?) We don't need a water intensive quad--let's meet the sustainability demands of our current world, that must use water and other resources sparely. The expansion of more and more parking lots and wallmart type designed buildings has generally cast a blight on the look of the university. Accessiblity and increased mobility for those with disabilities could be improved. |

| It works well that all the builidngs are physically connected (except for the new Markin Hall). Keep that theme going, don't separate the school & students. Additional Comment: Not ALL buildings - CCBN, Hepler Hall, AWESB |
