Campus Space

In the Role of Design and Space the author writes about a family who decides to view the Mid-Rocky University campus. They are confused as well as disappointed due to the fact that no signs nor directions to the administration office can be found. It takes them longer than normal to find the office. It is clear that the administration itself is either unaware or doesn't care enough about their visitors to apply more material to make getting around the campus easier. My first year of high school and college have both been very similar to the situation this family was in. Both times I thought i had a good idea where my classes where but about four minutes before class is about to begin I get lost. Not only because the building is hidden but because the rout to get simply to the second floor is unseen it takes about five minutes and two laps around the first floor to find the hidden staircase. As you can most likely understand anyone could get frustrated when trying to find a building or a classroom at a fairly large college or high school.  This would definitely change the behavior of the people going or just visiting these campuses. Students not only get frustrated because they cant find the class but then they get to the class late and miss important information. A persons behavior will also change just being in a certain location in general. If your at a school I am sure you do not feel as if you were in a theme park or club. There is a certain level of excitement that comes along with the space your in the controls how much energy you gain for the activities that go on in that area.
