The Plaza at Georgia State can be one of the livest places on campus. It has two levels. There are doors and steps everywhere, an occasional table with a few chairs here and there strategically placed by trees . Tents sometimes occupy the area mainly on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Another object that plaza has is probably the most eye catching being the two ridiculously blue fountains on the upper level.

The doors around plaza provide back entry into all instructional buildings located in the vicinity Sparks, Langdale, & Kell hall as well as Classroom and Library South. The stairs give admittance into and out of plaza, access to the slightly taller upper level, and exclusive passage to the underground tunnel connecting to the student centers across the street. Tables and chairs are often occupied by organizations attempting to promote beliefs, brands, products, etc. The trees are used to shade the tables and chairs from the harsh Atlanta sun. Tents are used when businesses come to market and sale their items. Finally the fountains make for a serine like sitting/resting area.

At Plaza there are literally hundreds of people passing by every 5 minutes, especially between the time of 12-1. Students, teachers, faculty, staff, business people, tourists, etc. pass through. Some move swiftly almost rushing in a sense. A few individuals sit in the designated smoking area aka “cigaretteville”. Others casually lounge around sitting or engaging in conversation.

There are males, females, short, tall, big & small people in Plaza. The humans who fill this space are all none in the same. Some come to free their mind from boredom. Many hangout until it’s time for their next class. This is where meet ups take place. A ultimate hangout spot right outside of class; a place of interaction where the mind can be freed from the stress and worries only for a minute.
