Pictures part 2

As promised, here's day two of photos. And yeah, it's sort of "facilities on campus," but it's also mostly "more pictures, yay." So here we go.



It's probably worth it to start with a familiar sight. Coincidentally, this angle of the Carillon Tower is also a really popular view for GVSU brochures.



The University Book Store can be found inside the Kirkhoff Center, where you can pick up textbooks, campus apparel, study supplies, etc.



The largest classrooms on campus can be found in Loutit Lecture halls, part of Padnos Hall of Science. The max occupancy of these rooms is right around 200, but the largest class I've ever seen listed was around 160 or 170 students, and those will break into discussion groups once a week. We don't usually get to show these lecture halls on the tour, just because classes are typically taking place here, but at least here's one view of it.



Here's another view of Mackinac Hall, our largest classroom structure. Among other things, Mac houses the math department, statistics, history, and modern languages.



Fresh Foods Company, a buffet style dining hall, is my personal favorite spot to eat on campus, but it's just one of the many locations that a student could spend their meal plan. It's also conveniently next door to Mackinac Hall.



Speaking of Campus Dining, here's a look at the outside of Kleiner Commons. While it's not a buffet style hall, it's very convenient; located in the middle of freshmen housing, and the main cafeteria there is open until midnight (the convenience shop is 24/7)




Here are two of our athletic facilities, with the outside of the rec center on the top and the pool on the bottom. Both of these are free for student use.



Here's a quick look at the inside of the library. We can't show the library on the tour, because it's a quiet structure.



And to finish up, here's a glance at the inisde of the honors college. The main office for the structure is down the left hallway, just past the staircase

But, I'm off, so send a question if you've got it.

The pictures taken were really nice and the recreation area itself looks really wonderful as well! I'm sure every visitor here would love to come back here for its well-maintained facilities and equipment. We always go to Denver, Colorado recreation centers because it's nearer to our home and Denver parks and recreation centers are my sons' favorite place because they always get to watch rugby games there and they got to play around the park the whole day knowing that they're safe.
