This is the entrance to our building. We have two sets of stair cases and a ramp that lead to our pavilion, which is elevated three feet from the ground, also a couple of palm trees and shrubs to give it a finishing touch. Between the two stair cases is a garden of flowers that are planted to resemble "ML".

Are the flowers in ML going to be the only landscape in the front of the building? The right side looks plain so it could use some more flowers or some trees? The landscape would be nice in the front because it will be very welcoming to the community using the space. Rufa Pazyuk- Dynamic Designs

This looks like a docked cruise ship. I can't tell if that's intentional, or it's the skewed perspective. I would recommend adding windows to the facade, because it'll help break up the monumental scale of the building, and it's good for circulation, will lower the operating cost of the buildilng, and people generally prefer natural daylight opposed to artificial.

Most of these spaces are rather large, and might required additional exit doors for egress. The doors may already be located on the sides and rear. Make sure the ramp slope is no greater than 1:12. If it's 1:20 you don't need handrails.

I like the shape of your building, it's really different.

I think adding some additional windows or a more inviting exterior to the building would allow visitors or students to feel welcomed into the building. Something that would attract the eye, maybe something artistic against the walls? That way, visitors won't be too overwhelmed by the amount of white space by your building.

You might develop interesting solutions to the roof by looking at Seattle Seahawk, Minnesota Viking, and Dallas Cowboy Stadiums. Also consider Bejing and London Olympic indoor and outdoor stadiums.

I like the shape of the building and also the interior. But, when i went to the outside i thought it could really complete the area if the landscape was expanded.

We are also adding various trees around the perimeter of the entire facility to add some scenic appeal to the area.

The building isn't very aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps adding mre colors, different textures, or more landscape would make it more appealing? I would also like to add that the white walls will end up filthy vey quickly and requre constant maintenance which may become a problem since the building is so large.
