Zona Evans’26, a student in the class, learned that “a lot of building doors are below ground level. 因为皮尔森是在地下污水处理系统实施之前建成的, 当他们在社区里安装了污水处理系统, 而不是挖开道路，把它们埋在街道以下, 管道安装在原来街道的上方. Concrete was then poured over it, making the street level much higher than it was originally. 正因为如此, 现在大多数建筑都有多个门, 一个在地面以下，一个在地面以上.”

A visit to the Art Institute isn’t just about viewing individual paintings; it’s about stepping into a world where curation becomes an art form in and of itself. 通过展示杰出的艺术品, 提供深刻的背景, 并促进与游客的对话, 艺术学院提供了一个真正身临其境和变革性的艺术体验.”
