The courtyard which is known as the Frying Pan, is encircled by buildings 1 and 2. It provides the campus with a central focus, but while the courtyard is usually silent and tense with anticipation, it becomes a lively and extraordinary place during university festivals and events. It has a dual purpose as a hub for knowledge and a place for informal communication. For design students in particular, the plaza is an important place where they can stand tall.
