The Triad Pavilion

Subject

The lawn/park-like area outside three residence halls on campus

Description

The Triad Pavilion is situated between Syme, Gold, and Welch Residence Halls on NC State's East Campus. It offers the 400+ residents a lawn and park-like space for recreation and relaxation. It tends to be more populated in the warmer months of the year, though some people hang out in the gazebo at night even in the colder months. The residence halls are some of the oldest on campus, but the Pavilion was only built in 2012.
In the midst of a large city such as Raleigh - and NC State's campus, which is essentially a small city - the landscape architecture offered by the Triad Pavilion grants the Triad's residents a reprieve from the city life. It removes the regular brick aesthetic and sometimes industrial feel one might get around campus and briefly reenters the residents back into a natural landscape. If students tend to associate the stress of their academics with their school's environment, then perhaps the Pavilion's natural landscape also pulls them from the school atmosphere and therefore away from the stress of academia.
