Nau is a mix of pretty old and very new architecture. From walking to NW campus to the more central area around Mckay village there are so many different influences seen. This is the very space age looking Science building, right next to Campbell hall which feature red sandstone and Greek columns like the rest of North campus. The building below however also is similar to other building on campus like the Communications building and parts of the Education building. These great breaks in the landscape is one of the things that makes NAU such a beautiful and interesting campus.
The pictures below are of Mckay village, in central campus right next to University St. They are NAU newest apartment style housing. They have a central-ish court with many sun shades and grilling hookups, this is an example of NAU deliberately planning third spaces to encourage productive "campus approved" student interaction.
Very interesting, how you noticed the change from an old fashion look to a more modernized/ futuristic look of NAU's campus. From North Campus all the way down to McKay Village it does change dramatically. Nice way to describe the unique science building just past Campbell Hall as space age. I feel the same way it just sticks out. Also I believe the area in between McKay is seen as a third place based on its open green space, when the snow isn't everywhere obviously. Thanks for sharing.
