First Floor

During the process of design, it became apparent that two entrances would benefit the occupants of the of the Hort. When looking the site analysis, we noticed two points of importance. One was the regular use of 13th St. as a point of entrance. The Architecture building, Library, School of business and many others have primary or side entrances on the street. However, not everyone who will use the Hort will come from 13th St. A portion will come from north of campus or student housing along Diamond St.

This corner entrance does not just accommodate those users but also begins to act as a smooth transition and north facing gate for the campus. It is meant to create an open space that both members of the university and surrounding community can interact with.
