The site is surrounded by academic buildings including Dean Rusk Hall, Law building, Law Library Annex, and Peabody Hall. The seating from the buildings are facing toward the lawn. There is a memorial plates and garden in the north end. At the south east direction, there is a part connecting this quad to one of the busiest bus stops on campus. b. The reason this site is selected and categorized this way UGA Library becomes the main circulation landscape for a lot of people. In the preliminary observation, more than 25 people occurred per 30 seconds in the high time, making this landscape filled with live and movement. c. Subjective participant-observation reflection of the place The site is bustling with people, and the grass is highly maintained even in winter time. There are chains surrounding the grass in most sides, although, sending a limiting access. However, occasional grass access is spotted. The trees are attractive, but cannot be sat under due to the large radius of mulch being placed underneath. The front of Law Annex in particular has a suntrap that is very attractive. The main circulation cuts through the front of library.
