On our "tour" of the UNCG campus, our TA's pointed out many interesting ways that our university has incorporated ancient architectural features. Most of the buildings incorporate stacks and groups with the columns that are incorporated into the majority of the buildings.
The circles are a very important part of this university. In the Elliot Center, there is a circle on the floor to greet those that come in through both the front and back. These circles resemble the sun, which in the main entrance, is underneath a skylight. Here, we get a feeling of repetition. There is also a circle made of stone on College Avenue in front of the library. This circle is the largest of all the circles and is in the dead center of the entire university. I found this fact to be very interesting.
Some of these pictures took a playful twist, such as the bikes and bike racks. Although these are not what structurally make up the school, they are just as much part of the school as the stone and brick that went into making each building. These two things, bikes and bike racks, are found everywhere because college students utilize these all of the time. UNCG would not be what it is without the students that make it up.
