- 3. Morphology A White Campus 1940- 1955 In 1936, NEU was denied accredidation to their engineering school. This created a boom in buildings all over campus in order to achieve accre- didation. The campus became a campus of grey brick, courtyards, gathering spaces, and axial symmetry. Dodge Library Hayden Hall Hurtig Hall Mugar Sciences Building Churchill Hall 0 75 375 GdAM
- 4. Morphology Expanding Recreation 1955 -1980 Matthews Arena, built in 1910 and also known as the Boston Arena, is aquired by NEU. It was the home of the Boston Celtics, and Boston Bruins Curry Student Center is expanded Cabor Physical Education Center is built NEU purchases the land belonging to the United Drug Company, located to the west of campus. Originally the entire area was to be razed and rebuilt, but budget cuts resulted in Meserve, Light, Nightingale, and Holmes to remain. Willis Hall was built in 1979, and was not widely recieved. Students and faculty were bored with the mundane beaux arts style of grey brick and punctured windows. 0 75 375 GdAM
- 5. Morphology A New Styleand Connections 1970- 1995 New buildings Egan Engineering, Shill- man, Snell Library, Kariotis Hall, and Marino Center are built using a more modern style. Ruggles Station is built in 1987 and completely restructures and opens up the area to the south of the orange line. More dorm buildings are aquired to the north of the campus.

- 7. Urban Form Landmarks A sequentialseries of landmarks is a standard way that people move through a city. A close sequence of landmarks facilitates recognition and memorization. Landmarks are significant when they: have a clear form, contrast with their background, are spatially prominent, or are located at a junction involving path decisions. Northeastern Campus Local Landmarks 0 75 375 GdAM
- 8. Urban Form Nodes andCenters Nodes are the points in a city where a visitor can enter and often travel to. They may be junctions, transit centers, concentrated areas whose importance come from use or physical character, or the convergence of paths. 0 75 375 GdAM
- 9. Urban Form Edges Edges areorganizing features that represent linear breaks in continuity. Physical examples include shorelines, railroads, and walls. They also may be perceived boundaries where two districts or areas join. 0 75 375 GdAM
- 10. Urban Form Composite The Northeasterncampus is introverted. The public enters campus through public transportation or pedestrian routes along Ruggles Street, Forsyth Street, and Huntington Avenue. There are three main areas utilized by the student body, which are not located in close proximity to areas of high public concentration. Therefore, none of these nodes foster stuent and public interaction. wayfinding strategies: locate landmarks on paths where paths converge, locate a node 0 75 375 GdAM
