Main building is an administrative building. It is placed on
a hill emphasizing its importance and visibility. Individuals who drive by
campus would be able to see this structure from Limestone Drive and many
probably think about this building when they envision University of Kentucky
campus. Main building is constructed using a musical arrangement. A-B-C-B-A
Sections A and B mimic each other to the left and right of center. It is also
important to note the way the levels are arranged. On the lowest level the
horizontal plane of stone does not reach very high. On the top level it is separated
so that this level appears taller signifying it’s importance. This notion is
symbolic of the users who will be in the space. Important administrative
personal will most likely be meeting on the highest level therefor the top
level is deemed more important that the shorter basement level which may house maintenance
equipment.
