While analyzing the new science wing, I couldn't help but notice some very distinctive characteristics that do not relate to the rest of the college. First, you would notice how throughout the "old" section of Lewis, there are very little windows and all of the colors are of a "beige" hue. Upon entering the new science wing, its very different than that pattern. The colors are very modern, the majority of the walls and features are a soft grey, and the bright red cherry wood is very prominent. I think that they structured the building in such a modern way because science is very "modern" so to speak in the fact that it is constantly changing and being updated.
Second, I noticed that the new wing was very open. There are so many windows and open staircases so everything has a very open outdoor feel. I think this was done because the best way to study science and biology is by being outdoors where it is taking place. By having a very open area it allows students who are studying to be seemingly outdoors with what they are studying, and if they so wish, there is also an outdoor seating area where they can go to really be outside with nature.
