At Avila University, there's a building that's offset from the rest of
campus. In fact, it's technically the basement of a dorm building that isn't
even noticeable unless you happen to stumble upon it one day on accident. The
name of this somewhat hidden building is Dallavis. To most students at Avila,
they will only have the pleasure of attending one, and sometimes two classes in
this building within their college career. To Communication and Design majors
however, Dallavis is home.
The Dallavis Building
The personality dynamics in Dallavis are unique when compared to other
focusses for many reasons. Not only are the students there creative, but they
also have colorful personalities that invite people in. There is not one day
that someone could visit Dallavis and not witness the constant creativity that
happens. Art work and projects are featured all throughout the building, and
it’s the home of Thornhill Gallery that occasionally hosts art exhibits. Being
inside Dallavis, one can feel the great rapport between students and teachers
that makes it exciting to be involved in such a major. It is these relationships
that makes Dallavis such a special place.

Abby Trapp, Abdullah Alshaddi, and Omar Alnasser are all Communication
majors, so they spend plenty of time within Dallavis walls. While interviewing
them, it was clear that they all seemed to have the same opinions about the
building and what it has to offer. Abdullah had this to say when asked about
Dallavis, “I feel welcomed. I feel like that is my place that I fit into. The
people there are refreshing, smiling, always will reach out to talk to you
because that’s what we do in Advertising and Public Relations.” Omar Alnasser
also had this to say, “Whenever I enter there [Dallavis], everyone is smiling
and even if I am by myself sitting in the rest area, some of them are just
going to come up and talk to you.” Lastly, Abby had this to say, “I love
Dallavis because when you walk in, it’s like, visually exciting too to walk in
and the lobby’s really comfortable.”

As one can see, Dallavis seems like a wonderful place to be. Outsiders who
visit the building seem to clearly observe the relationships people have with
others, as well as strangers who come. Even the students who are there on a
day-to-day basis can’t help but say great things about the building. Dallavis
students are different because they’re not just surrounded by classmates, but a
family.
