Today we visited the Education Building.
Its design is based on symmetry.
Two walkways lead up to either side of the front to two entrances.
The center of the building's front is a pane of glass looking in on an area with tables and chairs, forcing people to enter through one of the doors to either side.
The floor directly in front of the entry is made of sturdier material than the surrounding floor due to higher foot traffic.
The building has hallways running down either side, one which actually exists and one which is implied.
This type of material allows the wall to hide things such as vents and even doors from easy viewing.
The landscaping at the back of the building coexists with it and creates a space for students to relax or for outdoor class to be held.
After the Education Building, we visited the Krannert Art Museum at the request of the class.
The railings inside the museum are designed to look like the building facing itself.
We entered through a a door that allowed us to store our backpacks while observing the art.
The museum connects to the Art and Design Building.
