Houston Community College Lease Case Study

The commitment to athletics in Division III has lead to money being spent on new sports and recreation facilities. So much so that it’s been put to question if there is an “arms race” to who can build the biggest and

The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

Collectively, recreation centers or gyms have had an impact upon several collective lives, effecting our sociological imagination. As an example, a whole new

The tutoring center would have high school students present to help other students with homework and studying. The technology room would have many computers and printers that were Wi-Fi compatible and high school students who could assist the users with anything they need. The snack bar would also be ran by high school students and would have healthy snacks and water available. The basketball/volleyball courts would be an ideal place for tournaments and for small teams of kids who could not play for their school for different reasons. The fitness center in this Community Center would have many different types of equipment that could be used by all ages. Lastly the meeting venue would be an area that could be rented out and used as a place for family reunions, birthday parties, weddings, etc. Combining all these activity areas into one facility would be very convenient and beneficial to many community

supports, such as the new Pagliaro Selz Hall, a state-of-the-art facility focused on strengthening cocurricular

There are plenty of club sports around where we live. Here there are an abundance of students that have to travel one to two hours to Pueblo just to go to volleyball practice. If we were to bring club sports here students would be able to able to play sports that would only be available to us if we traveled. It could help out the parents by not making them drive us three hours to and from sports practices.Then adding more time on the road to go to games.Also if we spend so much time at practices in other cities then we are more likely to get home to late. Therefore we might get home at mid-night making us lose sleep because we have to do our homework. As a result are grades start to fall. So if we were to bring club sports to Rocky Ford it could help us students in plenty of ways.

In September 2003, Mason Sexton, a young, inexperienced developer, was making plans to replace a rooming house he had inherited next to the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville with a new 14-unit, 5-story apartment house. In his attempts to assemble the information, approvals, and resources necessary to go ahead, he runs into many problems associated with the development process. While Sexton is able to carry out most of the conceptual, investigative and planning stages of this development, he runs into many problems because of his inexperience and his initial plan changes over time. He runs into issues obtain financing, has to spend money to obtain a certificate of occupancy, underestimates the

Welcome Future Bulldog! This is our Lutz Yelton Convention Center, otherwise known as the L.Y.Y.C. Most students know the L.Y.C.C. as the basketball gym, but there this building has so much more to offer than that! The L.Y.C.C. has five bathrooms four water fountains and is one eighth of a mile around, some faculty and students use the round track around the L.Y.C.C. as a track where they run and walk around for exercise. Inside the track you have a nice basketball court named Paul Porter Arena, accompanied by 3,500 seats that are always packed on game day! The upper seats located at the top of the arena are made of cement and the lower area seats are your usual plastic chairs.

Adjoining buildings and additional nearby hostels were added, as and when the opportunities presented themselves. The Rayne Foundation, along with the founding trio, funded conversions, extensions and general work to turn the site into a fully functioning college. The result is not a series of courtyards but a delightful long triangular strip containing a random and eclectic style of architecture, transformed into a magical space by the river.

I decided to choose the Unified Science Center at Stockton for my project because it is easily accessible to me, it is fairly new and as a business major student, I found the building to be very impressive. We business majors don’t have a place to hang out or a quiet place to talk to people in our major. I normally just see people in the library or in the hallway and if we have to do schoolwork we just go to a computer lab. However, the Science and Math majors have a building full of labs and classrooms. In my opinion I felt like Stockton was trying to one-up the Arts building with another new building. The two buildings are similar in the way they both function. The Art building is a good place for the Art majors to get creative for their assignments and while these students are surrounded by artwork they could feel more of an impact from the atmosphere. The Science Center is a good place to apply what the Science students have learned in class and apply it in a laboratory.

To illustrate the Mitchell College of Business Learning Resource Center’s effectiveness, one has to first look at the space accommodation. The Learning Resource Center can be divided into seven different sections. These sections are the reading
