“SETTING THE STAGE”
The exterior of a two-story building resting along Laurie Jack lane in BCIT is named Haida. The house runs between Willingdon Ave and a campus track field. The house has a typical campus dorm setting with true to life verve of independent anarchy, humiliation, heartbreak, loneliness, social intermingling, and academic charm. The house is mostly made of white stucco and grayish wood siding. The entrance has a faded brown stairwell and a lattice ornamented porch. This house contains 12 flats, upstairs and down. Upon entering the sound of music leads guests through the kitchen to a living room. A small turntable evokes the atmosphere and contains furnishings made of uncomfortable blue cushions for its occupants. This is the social room and it is decorated with the portraits of all house occupants on its walls. This “portrait room” expresses the spirit of the life which goes on here.
