The End Result

 

Spaces transform from public to private as the procession shifts from a busy urban street to a narrow alleyway, where the residence hall is located.  The large performance space is offset from the street but still accessible by the public without disturbing the students.  A small grid-ed city block can be made of the various building edges found throughout the site.
