An Aerial View of Students in the Quad

About This Item

An aerial view of a bustling day in the Quad, where students gather around tables, displays, and activity booths spread across the central plaza. Clusters of people relax on the surrounding lawn, while others move between walkways that connect the heart of campus. To the right stands the old J. Paul Leonard Library, its long concrete façade anchoring the scene and reflecting the modernist architectural character of the era.
