The exterior of UH exhibits a dream-like experience with the new landscaping and cafe. The small rolling hills with imbedded light fixtures and the metalic structure inhibiting foliage does not offset the authority of the tower. Neither does the new walking area with bared divits in the sidewalk. "The eye Tower" emerges in the middle of all these eye catchers resembling a structure from 'Lord of the Rings.' Knowing and seeing all, the verticle entity is the tallest concrete structure on campus. The dreary gothic appearance still lurks despite changes made.
Once inside of this office-like structure you may not be sure you actually are. Carpeting lines the way to cold and functional concrete benches. A computer with a huge screen is found between the benches that is supposed to aid visitors. There it remains void of attention between the unwelcoming cement benches. Very oppressive and unwelcoming. Pictures in the the tower are colorful but still operates as functional.Upon going up to the second floor with the cafe, one is greeted with casino like furniture and carpeting. Plush couches, seats, and booths are scattered in an orderly fashion. The sequence of seats with tables and cushioning furniture encourage you to bath in the natural light from the huge windows.
The interaction of the loby area deals with a high influx of people perhaps needing carpet to guide guests, students, and faculty further in to the facility. Mainly those who are well dressed are part of the administration. Mainly people are quietly studying or engaging in conversation as a group.
The ideology autoritative, administrative, and functional "trying" to be iniviting.
