Commodity
The EUC is a clear example of commodity. The EUC is used by all students, faculty, and staff and this shows that this building is well made for everyone to have a pleasant time. Students use this building to either study, eat, or just relax. One of the things students look for when they first come to college, specially freshman, is this sense of freedom and I believe the EUC is able to do this. One of the ways this building projects freedom is the size and the space inside the building. When you first walk into this building you walk in the middle of 8 massive columns and this can symbolize a structure that is big enough for everyone to enjoy and feel free. The inside of the EUC you also can see a giant circle in the middle of the floor and stairs going up and down in a circular way.

The stairs are used to create commodity since their are two different stairs on both sides of this imaginary cylinder as you can see on the picture above. Over all the building is a great place of commodity because it makes the students and teachers feel comfortable in a big space.
Firmness
Looking at the building I cannot say that the building is well done because otherwise it would not be standing up. However, I can say that the thick columns and walls create make the building look strong and safe. From the outside of the building it seem that the architects and designers who built this building really thought about the amount of students and other people who will enter this building since there are two entrances and at least three set of doors on each side of the building.

Delight
I'm going to confess that when I first step into the EUC I felt really amuse when i saw the architecture of the building and the different areas of the building. I felt satisfied when I saw the bookstore on one side and the food court on the other side right when I stepped into the building. Then you keep walking and you see a Starbucks and a store on the opposite side and you become even more satisfied, at least that's what I felt like. The fact that the EUC has almost anything a student needs is very delightful to the students.

Nice job with your blog. Although I think you could have done better with your commodity and firmness - they weren't strong arguments/statements. I also think you could have expanded on delight but it was good for what it was.
