This week we went and explored the Education Building and the Krannert Art Museum. The Education Building, pictured above, looks a bit like a Greek Temple. Internally, it's a pretty-symmetrical building with a plethora of classrooms and offices. As an engineer, it's certainly a building I would never step in if it wasn't for this tour. The building had two unique features that really caught my attention. First of all, it was really cool that you could get out on the balcony that wraps around the building. All of the offices allow you to get out there to look around and enjoy the weather. However, if you really want to enjoy the outdoors, the best feature is the garden on the West side of the building. It's a lovely walled-off area, with trees, shrubs, flowers, and benches to just relax and hang out. It really surprised me that something so nice was hidden away there.
The other half of the trip was the Krannert Art Museum, which was our choice to check out. It's an unnoticed copper and granite building on the South end of campus, on the military axis. Inside we checked out a bunch of different art, which while cool, doesn't belong much on an architecture blog.
