Unfortunately I do not have access to a drawing because I was not in class to be able to draw it. I took it upon myself to walk around campus and look at White Hall Classroom Building, the Engineering Quadrangle, and Miller Hall. Each one of these buildings is unique to itself but if you look close there are more similarities than what meets the eye. Everywhere you look on the buildings you see lines represented by bricks. All of the buildings have many windows to let light into the classrooms for natural light. The buildings are made out of brick with a white brick/stone border. The actual shapes of the buildings contrast each other though. White Hall is basically a square with three floors. The building face is split up into three different levels with beams running from top to bottom that give it balance. There is emphasis placed on the overhang creating a floating effect. The Engineering Quadrangle is made up of more complex buildings with different shapes on it. In the image above we see a rectangle shaped building with a half cylinder in the middle of the roof and two towers on the sides that contrast each other. Miller Hall is the oldest of them all but looks the nicest and best kept. It represents depth and harmony by the horizontal stack shape it is in. The emphasis on this building starts from the bottom of the stairs and goes all the way up to the roof point giving it a steeple look. I think that Miller hall and the Engineering Quad makes a cohesive statement but not whitehall. My favorite is Miller hall because of the overwhelming effect I get when I see it. The light in cooperated with the nature makes for a beautiful view.
