Cate Center - Arthur Bulin

Cate Center is an interesting set of buildings. It is actually six buildings. There are four compartmentalized dorm buildings (two now serve as offices and class rooms)  then there is the central building. Contained within it is the food court and the RSA. Now the sixth building is small that is the steam building. All six buildings are linked in a way that many never see. Steam is used to heat the buildings and water.

I lived in these dorms for two years and while it was a different building both years the sameness was oddly comforting. Much the same applies to the central building. You can go between the buildings and feel that they are connected. The similar design and little features make the six buildings feel like one.
