Phase II: Sense of Place

1. The coliseum was built to be used as an armory in the early years of World War II but construction was delayed and finished in 1948. The coliseum was home to the men's basketball team at NCSU from 1949-1999.It was also one of the largest arena in the southeast for many years.

2. The building was home to the famous Coach Kay Yow and was named Kay Yow court in her honor. Coach Kay Yow was a hall of fame coach and inspiration to many Americans throughout her coaching career at N.C. State.

3. Personally, this place holds deep significane to me. From being present at the last N.C. State game to call the coliseum their home court in 1999, to a player for Coach Kellie Harper as a student athlete at N.C. State the building has become not only apart of my everyday life but holds a dear place in my heart as an athlete at N.C. State.

Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has?
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)
