Denison
University’s newly created Campus Common is part of a major building
expansion program at the University. Located atop a new parking
structure, this two acre open space has become the hub of Denison campus
life. The Common is centered on the existing Slayter Hall student center
to the south, with the new administration building to the east and the
new Life Sciences Building to the west. The open north end overlooks the wooded hillside
beyond. The Common features an open lawn ellipse with a paved
performance area at Slayter Hall. The ellipse, encircled by a brick
walk, is framed by metal pergolas cantilevered over seatwalls. Round
seating pods adjacent to the Life Sciences Building, provide outdoor
classroom space as well as intimate areas for study and socializing. |
