AG STEWARDSHIP CENTER

THIS IS CAMPUS. They call this a bird’s eye view.

Newly built home to several ag and ProTech classes along with special events.

TWO MILES NORTH

ALL SEASONS CENTER DINING HALL Boring name.

Great food.

The hockey team calls this place home. So do the Tuesday night amateur cannonballers.

(There’s a pool.)

THE “COMPASS” HALLS North Hall, East Hall, and West Hall. We’ll let you figure out which is which using deductive reasoning.

DE WITT GYMNASIUM Basketball and volleyball matches are featured here.

“Defend the De Witt!”

RIBBENS ACADEMIC COMPLEX Includes many classrooms for the arts, education, humanities, and various other fields.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER Test tubes, engineering projects, math geeks, cadavers—they all live here. Well, maybe “live” isn’t quite the right term.

COVENANT HALL

REC CENTER Contains multiple weight rooms, practice courts, an indoor track, and other physical training facilities.

EAST CAMPUS APARTMENTS Named so because at one point these six structures were by far the most eastern buildings on campus.

A lot of underclassmen live here. But they’re tough; they have the longest walks to class.

SOUTHVIEW APARTMENTS Mainly filled with juniors.

KUYPER APARTMENTS Mostly for the enlightened seniors.

(Turndown service not included.)

B.J. HAAN AUDITORIUM CAMPUS CENTER

THEATRE ARTS CENTER Trust us: there’s a new building here now. We’re not acting.

The central hub of campus—duh. Its backside doesn’t do justice to the front curb appeal.

Also now connects to the Science and Technology Center via a skywalk.

This is where the big performances go down— especially when it comes to music: ensemble concerts, Wednesday chapels, recitals, Jonas Brothers performances—OK, maybe not the last one.
