HONORS COLLEGE McClellan Hall houses the college, which offers specialized courses, undergraduate research, early registration and a residence hall community in addition to outstanding instruction from expert faculty.

COLLEGE OF VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS The college fosters Grammy-winning musicians, renowned artists and Broadway actors. It’s one of only two colleges in Texas to offer all the traditional theatre arts degrees.

The courtyard between the SUB and the University Library displays more unique public art. Read Reader, a figure made entirely of cast books, stands at the north end. Moving south, you’ll find the Tornado of Ideas, with creative figures meant to provoke conversation. The silver sphere, Comma, blends art and science interactively. Sample the sound of the sun by pushing a knob on the sculpture.

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Explore the third largest library in Texas with more than two million volumes.

SOUTHWEST COLLECTIONS/SPECIAL COLLECTIONS LIBRARY This historical research center houses, among others things, the Vietnam Collection—the largest collection of material on the Vietnam Conflict outside the federal government.

Just behind the University Library you’ll find buildings that make up the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural

Resources–CASNR. Known for its student-friendly faculty and progressive programs, the college consistently produces outstanding student leaders including the numerous world champion teams

DAIRY BARN In our early days, this original campus building boarded some students’ cows and chickens, whose milk and eggs were sold to help pay tuition.

CHARLES E. MAEDGEN THEATRE The Mainstage here annually hosts seasons of major productions, both dramatic and musical. Auditions are open to all students.

Continue west around the Foreign Language Building and enter the courtyard of the English, Philosophy and Education Complex-EPE, one of our newest academic buildings. The

centerpiece of the space is Headwaters, a sculpture court and fountain representing a blend of ideas based in English, philosophy and education.

SCHOOL OF ART Galleries and studios in the school periodically display student and faculty works and are open to the public.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION The north building in the EPE complex houses the college, some unique facilities like the Sowell Center for Visual Impairment and the Burkhart Center for Autism Education.

{7}

EDWARD E. WHITACRE JR. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Advanced classroom, lab and field study facilities complement faculty who make teaching a priority. The college offers degrees in 10 areas of engineering and dual degrees with disciplines like math and architecture.

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Housed in Holden Hall , the college offers more than 100 degrees from Anthropology to

Zoology. Interdisciplinary programs like religion studies, dramatic writing and international studies encourage students to personalize their degrees.

Continue west and you’ll pass one of our most recognizable landmarks: Riding into the Sunset, a statue of famous philanthropist Will Rogers on his horse Soapsuds . The entire sculpture is traditionally wrapped in red streamers the night before every home football game. West Hall and the main campus entrance, where you began your tour, are just ahead.

COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE Students learn to balance creative and technical abilities as they build impressive portfolios from their very first courses as freshmen.

RAWLS COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION A comprehensive, research-based business school, the college prepares students with internships and a career management program that has placed more than 85% of recent grads. Challenging programs decrease the time needed to earn an MBA.

ANIMAL AND FOOD SCIENCES BUILDING This building is among the many state-of-the-art facilities in CASNR, which include a beef cattle center, research farm, food microbiology lab and Equestrian Center.

ROBERT H. EWALT STUDENT REC CENTER Feel free to head inside and tour the Robert H. Ewalt TTU Rec Center. The 242,000 sq. ft. facility first opened in the spring of 1980 and has been added onto several times through the years. Experience the 53 ft. high climbing wall, play basketball on over 5 different courts, and take a relaxing float through the lazy river – one of the longest lazy rivers on a college campus. A variety of intramural sports and club sports are also offered through the Rec Center including flag football, water polo, ultimate frisbee, and fencing.

Walk north on Flint to Main Street. Turn east to make your way back to the center of campus. You’ll pass the Student Wellness

Center - the SWC, which houses a clinic, pharmacy, wellness programs and the Student Counseling Center. Beyond the SWC, walk through the courtyard of the Carpenter Wells Residence Hall Complex, which offers apartment-style housing. You’ll pass the bronze horse Wind River and the Rawls College of Business. Walk under the clock tower and continue toward Square Spiral Arch, all additional installations in the public art collection.

You’ll see both the Biology and Experimental Sciences buildings before you pass under the archways of the Mathematics Building.

Continue down the walkway toward the flagpoles and fountain that mark Memorial Circle, the heart of campus. In 1948, the Texas Tech War Veterans Association dedicated the circle to all Texas Tech students who served in World War II. The Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences are both north of Memorial Circle.

One tour cannot adequately cover the more than 1,800 acres that make up the Texas Tech campus. The following pages describe additional points of interest, so please take your time and continue to explore the place where great things happen!

Walk through the courtyard, continuing west. You’ll pass the College of Architecture on your way to Flint Avenue. Once you reach Flint, you’ll see the western-most part of our main campus, which you are welcome to explore further. The School of Law, the United Spirit Arena, the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center and the Animal and Food Sciences Building are among the sites to see.

COLLEGE OF MEDIA & COMMUNICATION Hands-on programs in a realistic newsroom, internships and opportunities to publish stories and photographs prepare students for careers in journalism, advertising, PR and electronic media. The Student

Media building houses the yearbook and newspaper.
