NORTHERN GUILFORD][HIGH SCHOOL




Our design project is based out of the Northern Guildford Middle School and High School. We took a small field trip down there to see what the school were like. Brooke and I got there about the same time, right at9:00. We went to the office to sign in and the lady knew we were coming and let us sign in. Then some others came as well. We were waiting and waiting but no Patrick and the rest of the class. Finally the office worker called the middle school and said that they were there and not the high school. It was so funny. The on our way to the Middle School (which is right next door) we got lost in the parking lot. You would think that it would be easy to find the place but both the cars that were at the high school got lost getting to the middle school. As were were walking through the middle school with Bryan. He couldn't answer all of our questions. We were thinking that maybe he didn't know anything about it. In this building though there was way too much natural light coming into the space, with classrooms and other rooms that did not need that much sunlight. We say that we want a lot of natural light coming through, but i think i might have changed my mind. Unless you do it right.

The High school was better. Some of the design made a little more sense. The natural light in some areas were ok, like the Media Center. It was the right amount of light, but unfortunately in other places like the computer lab, it was too much. So much glare on the computer screens made it difficult to see what you were looking at.
