UV Reducing glass could be utilized for glazing in windows in common spaces.   Motivation Issue; students are too busy, how to leverage their time?   Chris Miller, Appalachian Center, source of archival images and photos.  Support juried student work.  Opportunity to highlight challenging artwork.  Opportunity to highlight landscape art and sculpture.  What is the nature of art integration? Decorating the walls or art education? 

 Art Integration Model  

Model of National Park Service, Less Gallery, Yellowstone National Park, Grand Tetons.  Teaching with a public mission.  Opportunity to display student work in a student’s own environment.  Opportunity to educate on the value and meaning of art.  Opportunity to illustrate the connection between Forestry, Crafts and Fine arts.  Art as academic discipline versus art as “playspace”.  This initiative supports Berea College’s goal of promoting learning outside the 

classroom.  Architectural Design Implications:  

Break standard institutional rhythm of doors in corridor.  Avoidance of sterile, straight corridors.  Create “musical” variety.  Tile Mosaics above doors, in bathrooms.  Framing views to the outdoors.  Offset spaces to avoid overly linear corridors.   Explore use of niches, small places.   Create open and closed spaces.  Create indoor/outdoor spaces.   Create sense of place within common areas.  Use of Color: 

o Natural/background with concentrated areas of color. o Limit high intensity colors. o Use of warm colors framing views of nature, Berea Hills. o Avoid “Berea Brown”. o Splash colors mosaics in stairwells. o  Bathrooms could be more saturated and expressive. o Opportunity to work with Art Department on interiors color palette.

 Challenge Perception of Art  

Encourage new art, present new ideas.  Push boundaries of what art is.  Include Ceramics 3D sculptural Fibers program. 

 Landscape Art  

Create sense of discovery in garden design.  Use of Materials

 Interpretive Opportunities  

Daily connection and the concept of learning by living.  Meshing together campus and forest.  History of student participation in construction, furniture.  History of agriculture at the college.   Opportunity of tell story of connection between trees, wood, food and where it comes 

from.  Opportunity to tell the “Berea Story” 

 Architectural Quality  

Architecture should create a sense of awe  Should express the sanctity of space, environmental ethics 

 Forestry Issues (Clint Patterson)  

Logging o Timber Sale going on now for small harvests, o Small Harvest sale with horse logging is scheduled (need to get photographs) o 3rd harvest sale is also scheduled o Can evaluate implications of larger harvest once rough quantities are known  

Sawmills  

o Felix Taylor, Age 75, Berea College Alumnus, will only charge expenses and is excited about the opportunities. 

o Also has 2 solar kilns o Would like the opportunity to work with students

The following notes are intended to begin to derive estimates for the following use of the Berea College timber resources for the following: 

1. Residential Hall Furniture 

Berea College Residential Hall Room Furniture:

Dresser Drawers     Desks   Chairs   A mirror   Blinds or shades   Bed (bunk or loft)

‐ Desk Lamps are typically provided  

Note: LED Task Lighting would be a low‐energy alternative to Desk Lamps  

‐ Room Telephone   Note: Likely being reconsidered due to cell phone prevalence.  However a wired phone in each hall might be a good safety feature as long as it did not take up “valuable real estate” as it would rarely be used.
