San Jose Field Trip

On Friday we went on a field trip to visit various buildings in San Jose. The first building we visited was the San Jose City Hall. The city hall was an eighteen story building with a small exhibit of multiple art and artifacts art the bottom. The building was mostly made of glass with some steel shades with walkways walking out to the shades for maintenance, or that is what I believe the walkways were for. When on the top floor it gave me an uneasy feeling considering I hadn't been up that high in a long time. Also on the lot on the city hall was a large building or a rotunda that is about 10 stories tall but is only three floors. The rotunda is used for ceremonies and weddings. I have looked up some information about it and many people say it is great for weddings.

Another building that we visited while in San Jose was the Martin Luther King Jr. Library. The library was one of the biggest libraries I have ever been in. It had a big open entrance area and had eight floors. Though we did not visit all eight floors we visited three floors of the main library area. Something that I thought that was very interesting about the library was how it had a offset room for the kids section. Also the Room for the kids section was lower to fit the kids better and have a better feel for just kids. The library was very open and had many books. The one thing I didn't like was how some people just wasted space by sleeping wherever they felt like it. I wish we could have seen some of the other floors and see if they were different higher up.
