One of the things we looked at in our precedent research was circulation throughout the building. We found similarities and differences amongst all of the buildings.
In the Glasgow School, there is a long corridor on one side that runs the length of the building, with stairways at either end. This is basically the same for all levels of the building.
The Yale School of Architecture has many different levels, all with different circulation patterns. For the most part, there are two main corridors on either side of the building with smaller branching corridors leading to other areas, with stairways in the corners of the building.
The Knowlton School has a central corridor with many branching and secondary corridors, with stairways dispersed in the center of the building. Each level is different, but still have the same kind of pattern
In Crown Hall, the first floor is entirely open, with movable partition walls, so the circulation depends on the location of the walls. The lower floor has a U-shaped corridor with stairways in the middle and on the ends of the corridor.
Gund Hall has an L-shaped corridor on most of the floors, with stairways on the ends and in the center. All areas in the building are accessed from these primary corridors.
