Building Site Ideas
Site #1
The site where Nassau Hall used to
stand right off of the circle and near the old dorm complex and garden. It
would be a little off of the beaten path.
Site #2
The site right in the middle of the
circle to create a pedestrian circulation that encircles it. But that would
result in the destruction of the circle.
Site #3
The site where Suffolk Hall used to
stand and right behind the old Smith Hall dormitory. The main road would be the
primary circulation path with the sidewalk as the secondary circulation. This
is also an area that is a transition point between the academic areas and the
residential areas of the campus. This is the site I was leaning towards from
the start and what I ended up choosing.
Site #0
I like to call choosing this site
"Pulling an Orchard" because, like Orchard Hall, it is putting the
building out in the middle of no man's land. There is little to no existing
pedestrian circulation and the vehicular circulation cuts right down the middle.
