Curiosity Invited

THE VIEW in this color rendering is toward the campus, along the main-floor corridor on the west side of the Hopkins Center (see floor plan Page 20). Off the corridor to the left are some of the art studios, open to public view in keeping with the "sidewalk superintendent" idea that is a unique feature of the Center's purpose and design. This idea, as stated by President Dickey, is to provide opportunities "in all the creative arts (theater, music, studios and workshops) to catch curiosity, invite interest, inform, and create enjoyment, maybe even the desire for a 'try at it myself.' " The corridor will be used for exhibition purposes and, as shown in the rendering, it will be the location of a snack bar with counter space for 25 and tables seating approximately fifty. The Center's large outdoor garden court is off the corridor to the right, and in warm weather the snack bar will be able to provide service for a much larger number of students and guests. At the north end of the corridor, to the left, is the student post office and opposite that is the main art gallery.
