ABSTRACT
The Langford Architecture Center at Texas A&M housed approximately 1,700 students and 210 faculty and staff in three buildings A, B, and C. The exterior survey paralleled the protocol established by the multi-university post-occupancy evaluation (POE) study and involved 30 participants. One part of the interior evaluation surveyed 145 users about the best liked and the least liked physical properties of Langford Architecture Center. Examination of responses by three groups in the sample revealed that faculty, staff, and students gave it slightly below average ratings, with faculty giving it the lowest scores, followed by staff, and then students. Students and staff evaluated two factors as unsatisfactory: comfort, and socio-spatial factors. Staff reported some features they liked, including the multiple windows and good lighting compared to other buildings, welcoming entrance with ramp, bold features such as 'huge concrete', and the garden area.
