Brookes - A Little You Need To Know....: The John Henry Brookes Building

28 October 2015, 10.30am, rushing out of the class for our 30 minute break which seems to fly by as compared to the lesson, we rushed to the John Henry Brooke's cafeteria on the first floor of this magnificent building which in 2014 won the RIBA prize (prestigious award for architectural feats and designs).

Together with most of the class we rushed to grab a coffee outside the JHB building where there is a Starbucks and back into the deli in the JHB to grab one of their delicious treats I opted this time for the chicken and avocado burger. This is what happens or will continue to happen on a daily basis especially when we do not have lectures in the building.

The classes in the JHB are extremely modern with the classroom temperature changing according to the levels of CO2 produced by the students! Specifically on the fourth floor of the building there are five or six computers situated along the corridor for students to use in case their lost and need to find their classrooms or directions. Entering the JHB there is a reception which is highly helpful should you get lost.

The JHB building is also really spacious as is shown with the pictures, with four floors, well lit on all floors with state of the art technology.

The JHB building is well equipped with a library situated mainly on the second floor. Together with my friend we visited the JHB library on Tuesday just to have a look around the building and get acquainted with the features and rows.The library and the staircase leading to the library provide a peaceful and calming environment I feel is essential for a good studying environment.

In conclusion the JHB is a wonderful building and even for those who have finished their studies at other unis I highly recommend a visit to this wonderful building!
