4 /5 Nicole Rae Valencia: There are nice planters around Olmsted Hall with palm trees, birds of paradise and even a bronze and stainless steel sculpture called a Water Star. Building #1 has a cool and shady entrance with tall bamboo and ivy growing across the brickwork.
Ive only been inside one of the conference rooms so I cant speak for the interior, but it appears the 2 buildings are difficult to navigate, as Im often asked if I know where classroom #___ is in Olmsted. Im posting a pic of a paper sign (Lost?) that was up during summer quarter because it should be posted permanently!
