Green In-Between is wedged between the busy, stressful campus and the peaceful dorms, beaches, and gardens. This site lends itself to be this transitory space where students can easily pass-by and use to connect to nature while studying or socializing. Through strategizing new circulation through the site, this form lures people through the breezeway into a welcoming terraced enclosure, prompting users to venture up to the library or down to the cafe. The plants indoors provide the perfect enclosures that filter the illuminating light onto their desks and lounging spaces. This building provides the perfect in-between space overlapping the academic and energizing ends of the site.
