Bachelor “Hub”
It’s the first building you see upon entering the Miami campus, which to be honest, is enough to leave the campus with a pleasing first impression for incoming visitors. Its immense beauty makes you want stop to and have a more observable look at the structure, as if you were to stare at a painting in a museum that is literally picture perfect. Before the building lays a vast bed of lavender and bubble gum-colored flowers, welcoming students and faculty with its bright petals as they walk along the crisp white sidewalks that act as a “yellow brick road”, leading to several entrances into the building. Diverse groups of students and faculty slug through the afternoon heat to reach the overbearing doors that to some may seem terrifying and to others thrilling. The multi-toned bricks define the buildings traditional Georgian-architecture that is commonly seen across campus. The large gridded French-vanilla windows allow natural sunlight to penetrate through and flood the classrooms with light and warmth, making it easy to conserve energy and not use electrical light. Engraved in Roman-like stone is the name in caps, BACHELOR HALL; making sure that anyone who walks by knows exactly what the building is. On top of the building sits a white tower blanketed with windows, providing students and others with a question of whether it holds a true purpose or if it’s just there for aesthetics. This building of beauty is a center hub for learning; it holds classes ranging from English to Math to Speech Pathology. While it may seem ironic how such a gorgeous building could hold classes that to students may seem dreadful and boring, it could be hypothesized that perhaps the buildings beauty helps provide a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for students to learn in. Next time you walk by Bachelor Hall or even have a class in it, take a second to admire it and enjoy the flawless picture that it presents.
