With a great view of the Lewis Katz Law Building, the Agricultural Science and Industries Building is another large structure on campus located just behind the Berkey Creamery. This five story building has an additional maintenance tower attached to the roof, which is protected by concrete walls and nets to block birds from entering. A small hole in the net wall is the only access to the roof, making the Lewis Katz building the first building in sight once emerged. The view spans throughout the west side of campus, including the water tower and power plant, and over to the east to Beaver Stadium.
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 view towered over the other buildings, near and far. Take a gander from this 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.
