In many respects it doesn't need to be so complex. At school today the facilities people put out folding tables and chairs in the north main concourse of the AQ for Clubs Days this week. Before they were done most of the tables were occupied by people on laptops, eating lunch, conversing, and bringing more life to the monolithic hallway than normal. The study nooks and such are hidden from the main concourse and are too dim and uncomfortable to be useful much of the time. SFU just can't seem to get the "soft scaping" right. The landscaping is fine, same with the outdoor hardscaping, but the experience of people's bums in the built environment seem to have been the last thing on Erickson's mind when he designed the place. I still like it though.
