Description of the Science Wing Lounge

When you first walk into the Academic Building of Lewis University you are greeted with a warm embrace of light and decorum. As you walk through the halls you can't help but imagine all the learning and intellectualism that goes on beyond the closed doors of the classrooms and lecture halls. You look upon the posters that advertise upcoming events and organizations, as well as stare into the display cases that exemplify Lewis University's past and modern technology or advertise paraphernalia and school pride. Eventually you're drawn to the lounge, as you follow the luminescent streaking rays of light as they shine into the square, multi-leveled room, bordered by far reaching windows on three sides. You can't help but feel content embracing all the natural light that flows through the windows and gazing at the walkways, shrubbery, and planes as they land just outside your window. You walk through the spacious room, gawking at its contemporary design, and sit on one of the many soft and comfy chairs. Depending on the time you arrive, you can either be greeted by an array of students socializing or studying that dwindles into pleasant background noise or a quiet empty room with only the purr of fans and vents in the background. The room is kept clean, with no lingering smells to disturb those that come to relax or study. The lounge fits the rest of the university, in that it furthers the University's emphasis on learning and professionalism. It not only encourages learning and conversation by offering a location for students to be able to simply sit down and escape some of the stress or pressures they are going through, but is a perfect place for the random passerby to get a taste of what Lewis offers.
