Local Architecture and Art Review: SUNY Rockland Community College Technology Building

They all labeled downtown El Paso’s buildings. I looked at them, lost for I had no knowledge of what they were talking about. I was still just a bird hatching from the shell. I turned left and there it was, classroom A1518. The two large, dark wooden doors were opened and on top of them was the sign “ARCHITECTURE”. I stood there with my breath taken away from me. “So… This is it. This is why you came into Northwest. This is your purpose” I took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and continued on forward. Inside was a large room with computers on most of the side walls and desks the size of tables were located in the middle. All of the other students’ eyes were on me. I got even more nervous. They probably asked themselves if I was lost because of course, who would expect a 15-year-old to take an architecture college class? I walked slowly towards the 2nd desk in the front row. I sat in the tall black chair as the sound of the AC and the computer fans grew bigger and bigger. I’ve never heard anymore silence in my life. I opened my backpack’s side apartment and took out my pencil and place it on the side of the dark brown desk. I looked around and saw another room inside of

The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

The average income is $413,585 and the total after eliminating the 15% would be $486,570.58.

People drive past El Paso High School every day and never bother to admire the beautiful architecture of the 100-year-old building that towers above them. I’ve always thought it was a striking building but, like many other El Pasoans, had no idea about the history behind why it was built the way it was. A couple of books and a nice long look at the school, I now have a better understanding and appreciation for Henry Trost’s marvelous works. Geoffrey Wright, an El Paso architect, describes Henry Trost’s grand design of El Paso High School as a “renaissance revival” in a 1991 article in the Austin American-Statesman, which wasn’t entirely accurate. Although he was inaccurate in this remark, he made another observation that was spot-on,

Opening in 1966, Oaknoll began with the aspiration of providing a home and living environment with guaranteed for care for all residents. Since that time, there have been many changes to its physical appearance, but Oaknoll’s mission to serve its resident is the same (Napoli). Though the floor plan can be confusing, the feeling of the place is warm and inviting. The opening lobby has high ceilings, a fireplace, and inviting furniture perfect for a quick visit. Oaknoll’s wide hallways accommodate the wheelchairs and walkers some residents use to get around and the light-colored walls and well-placed windows give a feeling of openness. Furthermore, there are several family rooms with tables and couches for a meal or get-together. If a family wishes to visit longer, Oaknoll has three guest rooms available so they can be close by (“Oaknoll”). One of the most unique traits of Oaknoll’s decor is the artwork displayed as all art found in the public spaces and hallways is either donated or created by residents, adding a personal touch to the facility. Also, community is a major theme throughout the building. With a large dining and activity room, a small theater, a game room, and public cafés, there are many places residents can gather. The new additions to Oaknoll provided community value as well as estate

The University of Arkansas Fort Smith (UAFS) was established in 1928 as an extension of the public school system in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It was known originally as Fort Smith Junior College until 1950, and it initially only occupied 15 acres. Today, the UAFS campus has approximately thirteen buildings in which classes are held in. There are several buildings that are on campus that do not hold classrooms for learning such as the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center, the Boreham Library, the Business Center, the Recreation and Wellness Center (RAWC), and the Lion’s Den. There is a total of 66 campus buildings and facilities on and off campus, and there is 1.16 million building square feet maintained by UAFS (“Why UAFS”). Each building on campus illustrates something different; there are several buildings that are new to our campus also. One building that is not new to our campus, but certainly grabs the eye of many students by either a positive or negative way is the building Gardner. Gardner is one of the oldest buildings on the UAFS campus, but besides the unusual layout that can be an inconvenience at times, the building has history, character, and beauty that out ways the negative any day.

I will first provide a description of the building and the architectural order of neoclassicism before moving on to consider why the architect used the classical style, the messages conveyed through that choice and

For my project, I decided to observe the Lloyd Hall particularly where the dining is located at, Stewart’s Corner. The observations that occurred wherein a span of one hour blocks, one from 8:40 am – 9:40 am, another at 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, and the last one at 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm all on February 19, 2018. Within the seating area, the dominant traces were tables and chairs to sit, eat, talk, and possibly work on any assignments. Computers lined up on a divider, next to one of the registers. On the walls, there are windows spaced out evenly. In between the windows are black and white photographs of places and people around the University of Alabama campus.

Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities in the USA . Located on the shore of the calm blue lake called Michigan lake . And known for towering skyscrapers which give a breathtaking view of this wonderful city, when I see the skyscrapers, it looks mysterious giant buildings above the cloud, those buildings led by Willis tower, a massive dark building.

Thirty–nine members of Mrs. Penny Oss’ morning English classes at McAlester High School recently traveled to Tulsa to tour Tulsa Community College—SE campus. TCC is one of the best values among Oklahoma’s state–supported colleges and universities. TCC has four campuses in Tulsa. McAlester GEAR UP students toured the Southeast campus, encircling a landscaped green space and campus ponds. There are nine buildings on the TCC–SE campus. What makes the campus unique is that the buildings are connected by a series of sky bridges seamlessly tying the campus together.

I am in this class to learn as much as I can about facilities. I work in administration, but not in facilities, and this will give me another opportunity to gain more knowledge about a different part of the business at our institution.

The building labeled B appears to be the main building for courses at Local Community College. Students walk in and out of the building all day and stop only to enter a classroom or buy food from the vending machines which fill one corner of the building’s long hallway. Often, students sit on the chairs that line the walls while waiting for a class to start, but for now the hallway is nearly empty and waiting for the ambush of students.

Hi-tech architecture, also known as Structural Expressionism, is a type of Late Modern architectural style that emerged in the 1970s, incorporating elements of hi-tech industry and technology into building design. Hi-tech architecture appeared as revamped modernism, an extension of those previous ideas helped by even more technological advances. This category serves as a bridge between modernism and post-modernism; however, there remain gray areas as to where one category ends and the other begins. In the 1980s, hi-tech architecture became more difficult to distinguish from post-modern architecture. Some of its themes and ideas were later absorbed into the style of Neo-Futurism art and architectural movement.

The atrium encompasses a hotel like atmosphere rather than one of a hospital, including plants, a fountain, and even a piano. One key factor that can contribute to patient stress is the navigation of hospital facilities (Ulrich, et al. 2004, 19). To approach this issue the design incorporates brightly colored “way finding” elements, including two large “tensioned structures of PTFE architectural fabric membrane” as seen in figure 2 (Florida Hospital Waterman n.d.). This allows patients and visitors to find specific entrances and spaces both inside and outside the facility with ease. The atrium acts as the central hub for the

While this is one of the many important places on campus, the main details of this corridor, such as the lack of people and the tall secluding walls, make it the example of a perfect on-campus refuge. Though people use it to walk through the corridor, it is
