The UNB Saint John Campus
The UNB Saint John campus is located north of the city’s central “uptown” area and overlooks the majestic Kennebecasis River. It is located on 100 Tucker Park Road and annually occupies approximately 2,550 students.
Almost all the buildings on the campus are linked together by a tunnel system with exceptions like the Hans. W. Khlon Commons building, the Student Health Centre, the Saint John College, Hazen Hall Annex, and the New Brunswick Community College(NBCC).
The Commons building is the latest building of the UNB Saint John Campus and is the state-of-the–art library for the school. Entering the school through the alumni gate, the Commons building can be spotted on the left. A beautiful 3 storey-building with glass windows, it

The campus tunnel system is one of the best features on the campus, it allows the students to go through most of the school without stepping outside, keeping them interconnected with classes and also very warm during the winter. A tunnel system links Oland Hall to Hazen Hall and the Ward Chipman Library.
Sir Douglas Hazen Hall houses all offices of the departments in the faculty of Arts. It has the second largest lecture theatre with a capacity of 240 students.
The Ward Chipman Building was the former library for the school, the campus’ Tim Hortons can be found in the Chipman building as well as the school’s bookstore. Classrooms and a spacious study lounge can also be found in the building.
Ganong Hall is the next building after the Ward Chipman Building through the tunnel system. It is the science building on campus; Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Geology are offered in this building. It has the biggest lecture theatre in the school. The William Ganong Hall houses a large green house and a research
During the second development phase (1980 to 1990), five more college buildings were constructed. These included the Administration Building, Student Centre, Arts & Sciences Building, Bermuda College Library, and a Faculty Office Building. At the end of this phase, construction and
North Campus is a unique part of UMass Lowell because of the different paths students can take to go to class. The most popular reason for this is because of the tunnels that take students underneath the streets to get to certain halls. It is a clever idea that construction crews built the tunnels for students to get around. On the other hand, I believe it is only useful for students to stay warm and dry when there is inclement weather outdoors. Sometimes, I find it more useful traveling around North Campus on the streets than through the tunnels.
The original college was built in 1866-1867 and was named Western Maryland College, but had its name changed in 2002 to McDaniel College ("History”). There is a long process to name a building, it involves creating a proposal and taking it to the President’s Council and Board of Trustee’s to get approved. After a building receives a name there is also a long list of ways that the buildings get grouped into groups. For example, there are Art buildings; General Use buildings and many more that are available to the students on campus. A building has to be paid for by someone or in memory of someone, there are multiple ways a building can be classified, there are buildings on campus that are named after residents who had lived in them, in memory of people, and even named after presidents. One special building that I had the pleasure of researching was Elderdice Hall, which had been named after Hugh Latimer Elderdice Sr. Elderdice Hall is special to the college because it is made out of completely different brick than any other building on campus. The building houses many essential offices that allow the campus to function, such as the Registrar’s and Bursar’s Offices, and Alumni Relations offices. Mr. Elderdice himself was an interesting man he attended Western Maryland College and later became the President of the Westminister Theological Seminary. He stayed the president until the Westminister Theological Seminary moved to Washington D.C. and became Elderdice Hall. Overall McDaniel College carries a lot of history with each and every brick that was used to build all 70 buildings on the 160-acre campus ("World Ranking
The building Gardner is one of the most inconvenient buildings on campus. It has two sets of double doors on the first floor, and it has two sets on the second floor also. The building seems to be divided right down the middle, literally. It does not matter which set of double
The campus in Chicago is superior because of the quality of the buildings. When the college was originally built, the architects used a specific kind of material that aged quickly in order to make the structures appear to be older than they actually were. At Vanderbilt, the outer surfaces of the classrooms look like any other establishments in the area. There is nothing to distinguish the university’s property from private businesses. At the other school, there is also a famous library enclosed by a glass dome, showing the futuristic as well as historic components of the design.
John's covers 28 acres (11 ha) of land and educates 1,225 total students supported by over 200 faculty and staff. In late December 2012, the School purchased an additional 13 acres of adjacent land for approximately $90 million, resulting in its physical footprint increasing by approximately 33%. Plans for the specific use of the additional property have not yet been announced. Although the School's size has grown, the number of students per classroom remains small, and its student-teacher ratio is approximately 7:1. Despite its lack of religious affiliation, the School provides non-denominational chapel services at the church of St. John the Divine each Wednesday morning during the academic year. In recent years, the Chapel program has branched out to offer more multicultural services, hosting speakers from a diverse range of faiths and non-religious backgrounds, such as environmentalists, athletes, and faculty or student
There is a big lawn in front of the school and has a road that goes around it. When you are standing in front of it there are stairs leading to pillars then double doors. The doors lead to a big building about 5 stories high and a little bit bigger in length than a football field. Across from the stairs is the flagpole with the cannon in front of it. You can taste and smell the food from the mess hall. You can see the cannon and the flagpole. You can hear the drums playing. Then to the right of the main building is
My future university is located in the center of downtown Toronto and therefore, I am looking forward to being able to access many
This act forced the college to be open and accepting of people from all cultures and religions if it wanted to continue to be publicly funded. Shortly after, the Canadian government moved back in to the legislative buildings that were being used to hold classes, and forced the university to use the former residence as classrooms.
The current home of the department, Rowan-Johnson Hall was actually left “with a literal hole in the middle of the building” due to lack of funding when it was first built in 1956, and Galloway Theatre’s design
Most major universities, only have one campus, while the campus, at schools such as the University of British Columbia, or the University of Victoria, may be massive and sprawling in size; students can walk across the campus to different buildings with ease. In these schools, inter-campus transportation issues do not exist for students. Students are also able to finish and complete a program while often living on campus in a variety of housing accommodations. However, for students of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), this presents a different issue, the school has campus locations in Chilliwack, Hope, Abbotsford and Mission. Likewise, UFV students also come from many different surrounding communities, cities, and towns, and most often
The hotel on the other hand was the most extravagant part of the building with its grand entrances, stunning balconies, and beautifully decorative stair cases. The hotel was facing Lake Michigan on one side and Congress Avenue on the other making it have to completely different views for the guest. The hotel was completely opposite of the Auditorium because of the decorative detail the hotel had that the other didn’t. The lack of space was a problem so the plan was to build other building with the same façade connect to the hotel by the underground tunnel, it would be called the
On the academic side an ideal college should have two kinds of rooms: lecture-rooms and tutorial rooms. Lecture-rooms should be large enough to accommodate even two to three hundred students without crowding. In these days of amplifiers, large classes should offer no real difficulty. Only three must be plenty of light and air to prevent stuffiness. The acoustic arrangements must be such as to put no undue strain on a lecturer’s voice. Tutorial rooms should be spacious enough to accommodate small classes of ten or fifteen students. Too many lectures are apt to become monotonous and boring. It would be deal if the ground covered by a lecture broadly is once again reviewed in the tutorial classes in greater detail and with an eye to individual difficulties of students.
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.
It is located in located at the corner of Belvedere and University Avenues in Charlottetown,Prince Edward Island University. It is very convenient to students from both UPEI and Holland collage. However its also convenient to whom they work in town and live around it, such as Cornwall , Marshfield and even in Stratford.
