Serene Scene

As the sun rises and the chill in the air slowly turns away, dappled light begins run through the trees and spreads across the landscape. Somewhere (outdoor speakers) a violin begins to play and is soon followed by an entire orchestra, setting the mood through campus. Behind me fountains start to flow as the walkways soon fill with laughter, smiles, and suntans. Eagles, seriously, bald eagles (possibly hawks) soar through the winds above and I can see islands in the distance. EVERY direction looks like heaven and this Malibu, hill top, ocean front setting somewhat supports that. Lush, lively, and completely serene, this university campus is a very unique result of a very strong design. This place should be on tv.

BTW, architect David Leckie of HOK Architects cleaned the back of every single seat in the auditorium. I’ve never seen such a thing. He’s superman.
