Blusson Hall is officially my new favorite building at SFU. Sometimes I find myself going five or ten minutes out of my way just to go there and get some work done. It’s one of the only buildings at the school where I can actually focus.
The first thing it has going for it is the lack of students. The massive building houses the Faculty of Health Sciences, which is kind of like having a full size stadium dedicated to a little league soccer. The place is empty, and I like it that way. It’s not that I don’t like people. It’s just that I don’t like them around when I’m trying to concentrate.
Adding to the ambiance is the cold, sterile feel of the interior. Everything is made of either glass, concrete or polished pine. A few benches and plants are sparsely distributed throughout the place. I don’t know much about interior design or architecture, but the rooms here the rooms and hallways here have “just enough” space.
My only complaint is that the place is eco-friendly to the point of being annoying. I’m in one of the study spaces right now writing this. The building decided to turn off the lights because I haven’t moved enough in the last five minutes. I’m just sitting here in darkness right now. If the building wants it to be dark here, who am I to argue with it?
It’s not as if the place is dingy though. There are massive windows everywhere offering views of the inner courtyard.
The wireless is plentiful. The bathrooms are clean. The thermostat is set down to a humane level. It’s the land of milk and honey… and it’s mine, all mine (and also a few Health Science students’, but they mostly don’t exist).
In conclusion: Blusson Hall is fantastic, but stay out. Go find your own building.
