This is a picture of Isat. It is located on the east side of campus. It is connected to HHS and the Phys/Chem building. Many students who use this space are Isat or computer science majors. However, many people use it to gain access to the buildings it is connected to. There is a large open area in the front foyer that many students use to study or sleep on between their early classes. I think that the designers of this space knew it would be used for sciences. The architecture is very clean and organized, giving the space a feeling of uniformity. I think that by adding more vibrant colors it could make the space more aesthetically pleasing, the lighting is harsh and can be unpleasant late at night. I know Isat draws some of its power from the large solar panels further in front of the building and a windmill is being constructed to address other power concerns. So overall I think the building is trying its best to be environmentally friendly. I am a computer science major so I will have good memories of being in the computer labs till the early morning doing work. While the work is hard sometimes it’s always a rewarding feeling walking out the front and seeing the James Madison statue as I walk down the large staircase.
