Visiting a College Campus? Campus Buildings and Designs

College campuses have many attractions.  As we visit a college campus its fun to check out interesting sites.

We'll find out more about these college buildings and designs on the tour.  Here's a blog post that shows some amazing buildings and designs. A couple of the featured buildings are at the University of Chicago. I wonder what it would be like to read a favorite book inside the immense reading room at the U of Chicago's Cathey Learning Center which stands 39 feet tall?  This building has 2 towers that have an interesting design.  Another library on the campus has robotic arms that take books off shelves for students and guests.  This library is inside a picture perfect glass dome at the U of Chicago's Mansueto Library.  It's neat how historical buildings stand next to modern designs.  What are some buildings and designs that you like?  What Math is involved in creating buildings and designs?

  1. The University of Chicago buildings were a neat mix between historic and modern structures. It was exciting to hear the scholarships that Chicago students can earn at U of C. The Science buildings in particular were really fascinating with things like the Nuclear energy programs.
