campus public observations

 Our group decided to look at the Student Union on campus and evaluate it as a public sphere. Students and faculty are invited to participate in this arena based on the building layout being very central on campus. There are also many entrances and glass doors that "feel" inviting. Easy access is key for a public sphere. Upon entering the Union you can see an open floor plan which again, invites both congregation and communication. Flyers, posters, bulletin boards, and announcements over mega phones fill the main level. They offer students to observe what is going on in their communities, and try to engage as many people in clubs, activities, and Coyote Pride.
