They teach you well and give you all the techniques you need to be successful in the music industry. This place is filled with young talented musicians all the time. If you want to hear some good classical music performances, go check out the students recitals. They are all amazing and can hear many top class performances. It is so nice to have well classically trained musicians here in Seattle! If you haven't been to this place before, you must go see and hear!

Throughout my two years of studying at the University of Washington, this place has been an…read moreintegral part of my commute and studies. What I love about it are the amenities they offer. Last year, they had multiple microwaves, but this year, they've reduced it to about three. However, they still have microwaves, and there are couches within a few inches of anywhere in the facility. They also have Wi-Fi, a printer, and special events like games, board games, and trivia. There's a refrigerator sink for washing dishes and a place to relax and catch a nap before continuing your studies. The commuters and transfer comments section of the university building holds a special place in my heart. If you're commuting in and around the Seattle area, you should definitely check it out. It has everything you need, including lockers, chargers for cell phones, laptops, and computers. Just check in with staff members, and they'll have anything you need. Don't forget to have your Husky card, as you'll need to tap in to enter and tap in at the staff desk. You'll have to tap in every time you enter the facility, but other than that, it's an amazing place to relax with someone who doesn't live in Seattle.

And it just seemed like some random stuff thrown together for resource desks but that also didn't seem like they were that helpful and being a resource desk that I would want to go to. The only thing it had going for it was tons of places to sit and study The whole thing was very "meh"

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE LAW LIBRARY…read more Below the law school is one of the few public law libraries in the state. Since this is public, it's free for anyone to use and well stocked. That being said, I have noticed that because of budget cuts they stopped updating some series (they're marked with a "!" sticker on the book's binding). If you have a Washington State ID, they'll give you a bar code to use to access online databases such as WestLaw and LexisNexis. The bar code is also for checking out selective items. Also, go to the reference desk and they give you a day-long wifi username and password so you may work on your computer in the library. It is a quiet zone so please don't bring kids or such food items that make noise. There is a law school student section which only those attending UW have access to so don't attempt to go in that zone. Only negative thing I can say about this library is that there is no cell phone reception down there so seldom will a text come through.

Thoughts as a designer, Mary Gates Hall is a fairly…read morebeautiful building. If you don't go to to UW, you may find yourself here for an event, but otherwise, you 'll run across it in your perusing of the campus. The exterior blends into the histories styles of surrounding humdinger of which I have yet to research. Regardless, it's not your modern Koolhaas you're going to see in other parts of the city, but instead a nod to buildings for older centuries than the current one. Designed by Basetti Architects in (2001, need to confirm...), the building is dedicated (like many of the IW buildings) to Microsoft royalty. In this case, the mother of Bill Gates, Mary Gates. The center of the building contains a workspace that reminds one of historic libraries with dramatic arches and light impacting the space at various times. The grey skies of Seattle keep this building modest, but it's worth looking at nonetheless. The classroom spaces are far less emotionally and aesthetically powerful with floors that remind one of a high school classroom, with clocks you can't help but look at and immediately want whatever is happening there to finish up. That's a little unfortunate, but functional nonetheless. The most inspiring aspect of the building is the student artwork, which is prominently displayed throughout. This is something you can't miss, because student art is always more express than what you'll see at a museum. Overall, the building has some character, plenty of function but could definitely be improved with a little lore attention. OK there's my first attempt at an architectural review. Please let me know how to improve it as I eventually will.

This building offers some of the best study areas on campus, as well as a cafe and a large library with a printing station. There is even a huge outdoor patio on the roof that is covered and usable even on the rainiest of days. For study areas, you can choose between the many cafe tables, the outdoor patio with chairs and tables, a lounge with a fireplace and comfortable chairs, modern metal chairs and ottomans spread throughout each of the floors, as well as tons of tables and computer stations on the library. When it is sunny and warm, people study on the steps and front lawn of this building too. If you want to avoid the boisterous underclassmen at Ode, and don't feel like walking up all the stairs to the Suzzalo quiet reading room, I highly recommend the Paccar library as a study area. You even get a stroll through the beautiful quad on your way!

The library is very spacious which allows many students to study here at once with ample space for spreading out their books and notes. Paccar Hall also offers study rooms for students to book online and meet up with their peers to study for upcoming tests and quizzes. One of the best features of Paccar is the food that is available for sale right by the entrance. Students are able to purchase delicious sandwiches, salads, or pasta here. There is also a Starbucks which I enjoyed stopping by before my accounting class!
