A lot of different activities go on here at all hours of the day and it allows for people to pass through easily and also provides many different activities with in it.
Power: This building the way it is built with all the stone and the high ceilings seems powerful in itself. But also another way that it could seem powerful is just the essence of what goes on with in it. All the communication,eating, people passing, performances, interest booths, and all the different activities just builds a sort of power throughout the student population at UNCG.

Precedent: This building is made with great height and made out of cement and wood. The structure includes a lot of circles. The columns are circular, the floors have circles on them, and even the walls for a circular shape. By the building doing this symbolizes the coming together of a group of people and unity which is a strong statement since this is one of the main hangout spots and passage ways for students on this campus.

Order: This building has a very specific order to it. The architecture of the windows and the wood paneling help display that by the alternating colors and shapes. Not only is the structure in a specific order the way things are placed inside the building are organized in a certain order depending on importance and convenience.

Good job in using the EUC as an example for the ideas but you could have also used the whole campus to give a varied example, as well.
