RHIT Homecoming 2008 - RHIT Campus

RHIT Campus

Most of Friday morning and early afternoon was spent wandering around campus.

Campus Map

For reference, here is a map of RHIT's campus, taken from the map page of Rose-Hulman's Website.

Main Campus

First, a video of a quick drive around the main campus, just to get a general feel of the area:

More detailed photos follow:


Main Entrance Sign


Hatfield Hall [L], our auditorium.


Inside the lobby of Hatfield Hall [L].


The Flame of the Millenium sculpture [GG] near the front entrance of campus.


Looking past the Flame [GG] toward Moench [S].


Everything to the left of the tree is Olin [V], and everything to the right of the tree is Hadley Hall [K]. Hadley sits directly across from the front entrance of campus, and houses a reception area for visitors on the ground level, and administrative offices on the second level.


The belltower, which is often reprogrammed to play different songs. At homecoming, I heard it play Take Me Out to the Ball Game, but it's also played Christmas carols, theme songs from various nerdy TV shows and movies, or basically anything anyone can think to program it with.


Olin Hall [V]


The lobby of Olin

Looking at the lakes from the east. The building corner on the left is the BSB residence hall [E].


Another look at the lakes from the east. White Chapel [FF] is visible at the far end.


The back (lake side) of Percopo Hall [T], which was known as New Res when I lived in it during Fast Track Calculus and during my sophomore year. During Fast Track I lived on the top floor on the front side, but my sophomore year room can be seen as the rightmost two windows on the lowest floor from this perspective.


The back of Percopo/New Res [T] as seen from the White Chapel.


The classroom in the basement of New Res [T]. It generally was used for tutoring, but when it was free, we often took it over for LAN parties, massive DotA and WoW sessions, movie-watching marathons, and so on.


Looking northeast across the lakes from the back lawn of Percopo/New Res [T]. The brick building at the left is the Blumberg residence hall [F], the white building in the far background on the left is the Sports and Recreation Center [DD], and the building on the right is the student union [M].


The Hulman Memorial student union [M].


The Deming residence hall [J]. I lived on the ground floor for my freshman year, and on the attic level in the summer between my junior and senior year.


A metal sculpture thing in front of Deming [J]. The doors to the student union [M] can be seen at the left of the photo.


The Root Quadrangle, which has decidedly more than four angles. Straight ahead is Moench Hall [S], one of the major academic buildings; to the left is the Logan Library [P].


In the quadrangle, we have another random metal sculpture. Olin Hall [V], another academic building, is in the background.


The "naked lady riding a fish" statue. Also taken from the Root Quadrangle with Olin [V] in the background.


A photo taken from roughly the center of the quadrangle, facing northeast. The building to the right (including the tall portion and smokestack in the center of the photo) is Moench Hall [S]. To the left is Crapo Hall [I], the third and final major academic building. Crapo hall is known for its amazing windows; you can see every window the building has in this photo.


The main hallway on the top floor of Moench Hall.


One of the electrical engineering studio laboratories in Moench. As you can see, every seat can either face forward for a lecture, or face backward to use the lab equipment. This room layout worked amazingly well for the classes I had.


The view from the back of the above studio lab.


A more traditional lab. Generally the lectures for such a class would be held in a separate classroom.


The door to the A/V room in Moench, where I used to have a work study job.


The apartment residence hall [B, C, D], where I lived my junior and senior year.


The SRC (Sports and Recreation Center) [DD].


The sculpture in front of the SRC.


Cook Stadium [H] as viewed from the front steps of the SRC.


The tank


Myers Center [N] on the left; Moench Hall [S] on the right.


How to tell that you go to a school for nerds: there are chalkboards in the bathroom stalls.
