Outside the Physical Science Building (Now Thornton Hall)

About This Item

A student walks past the entrance of the former Physical Science Building—now known as Thornton Hall—its tall concrete façade and dark window panels reflecting the campus’s mid-century modern architectural style. The landscaped planters and distinctive globe light fixtures frame the walkway, capturing a typical moment of movement between classes.
