Varted styles keep the KU campus' architecture from looking the same, but they also deprive the campus of a unified appearance.
Congression on Jayhawk Boulevard is a project, especially between classes. Of 4,037 students who responded to a Student Senate questionnaire, 2,326 (or 58 per cent) said they would like to see the boulevard closed to most traffic on school days.

Is the University of Kansas campus a beautiful environment in the eyes of architects, who study the environment and its effects on humans?
Louis Michel, professor of architecture and urban design, teaches his students that "a beautiful environment will produce beautiful work."
"The site and the contours are a designer's paradise," Micha said recently.
GARY POPENOE, Overland Park senior and architecture student, said. The KU campus is beautiful because of its scape, but the potential is much greater."
David Griffin, associate professor of architecture and urban design, said, "It's the 'in' thing to find something wrong. There is some good and some bad. The trees, the hill, the natural geography and the orientation with a
view to the south are all good. The way Jayhawk Blvd. wraps around the hill is a nice planning concept."
ESSENTIAL TO a good university environment. Michel said, are humanized spaces for study, contemplation, inspiration and creativity.
CAUSES spaces can be used from February to November, Michel said, and could be designed to be attractive in the winter months.
"There are some nice environments, like Potter Lake and the pathways to the U.S.A.," he said. "Sometimes nature is saying something better than what man has said."

Griffin said he feared the art museum under construction might set a precedent by violating the green area near the green space. He said previously hadn't been any buildings.
Wescoe Hall's modern design creates some problems, such as chilly seating at the outdoor dining terrace where the structure keeps some tables in permanent shadow.
