I observed the library’s courtyard, which is located immediately outside the reference desk and relatively in front of the artificial pond. I chose this particular spot because it is one of those places where you just get to watch people walk in and out the building like cars at an intersection. I sat in one of the chairs that linger near the tall, dead-orange walls perpendicular to the entrance and I did this in order to avoid any kind of hindering contact with the students; the corner where I was provided me with a perfect camping point.
After wandering, with eyes and ears, for a few minutes I decided to sit with a group of students that was apparently studying for a psychology class. I asked them some questions about the school and then about the library. Overall they thought that the environment invites students to feel calm and at ease. The peaceful vibe and the different clusters of trees along with the symmetrical infrastructure and perhaps simple architecture make them feel comfortable.
