Just about every art major at Ohio University can call Seigfred their other home.
1. Homework
If you are unable to study or do homework in your dorm room, like me, Seigfred's art studios are the perfect places to get work done. They offer very little distractions and if your homework is art related, you have the tools around you to get it done.
2. Glidden Hall
The music hall is next to the art hall, which definitely has its perks. With taking the elevator to avoid Jeff Hill or being able to hear music from outside the building, this added bonus is worthwhile.
3. Apples on the front desk
This is pretty self-explanatory, the office workers are so sweet.
4, Graffiti mystery floor
If you take the staircase labeled "Fourth Floor Only" all the way down, you might be surprised by what you find. An eerie hallway with graffiti all over is now on your bucket list to see if you have not already.
5. Posters
Students are always making posters for events, clubs, and other fun activities so you are always up to date by simply walking to class.
6. Good drinking fountain
The water fountain by the girl's bathroom on the fifth floor has very refreshing water. Try it before you disagree.
7. Open 24 hours
Us, crazy, nocturnal, art students take Seigfred's 24-hour schedule for granted. However, as one of the only buildings on campus with this policy, I am forever grateful.
8. Mural
Outside of Seigfred, there is a gorgeous mural that is hard to not admire. Even though it may look confusing, you can not deny its beauty.
9. Gallery
One of the first things you see as you walk through the building is an art gallery. The hours are relatively convenient so it is always fun to go in and see what everyone is up to.
10. Vending machines
Being a hungry art student penalizes your work ethic. These vending machines have variety and are accessible.
11. Graffiti wall outside
If you are up for a little walk through the grass, underneath Glidden there is a wide, low-ceiling area with various graffiti and even a few chairs. While only slightly creepy, this is a must-see for any art student.
12. Resources
Seigfred has a multitude of resources. Such as connections to Alumni that can get you possible internships, spaces for installation and or galleries of your own creation, and a library. There is also the Create Space located in Putnam Hall that gives access to things such as rentable film equipment and 3D printers.
13. People
I have never seen such a vast diversity of people until I got to college. Seigfred especially takes all kinds. Rather than seeing the "standard college student", Seigfred gives you access to people that are very different from you.
