Kicking off the tour of campus from above, I decided to start with the view from the tallest building structure on campus, Oswald Tower. Also known as the Department of Sociology & Crime, Law and Justice, this ten story cube placed just off to the right of the Pattee Mall, is possibly only recognized for its noticeable height. With a simple elevator ride up ten floors and then another staircase up, the entire 360-degree view towered over the other buildings, near and far. Take a gander from my mini gallery; these views aren’t something you see every day, nor have access to. Stay tuned for more photos from the rooftops of other buildings around campus.
