Aerial Views of Campus

A collection of large aerial photographs have been incorporated within a wall display located on the ground floor of Buildings & Grounds (Bldg 31). The photographs date from the 1950s and show the transformation of the site from an apple orchard with a coal company railway line running through the middle of it, to the present sprawling complex of buildings and associated educational facilities.
