One of the larger trees on campus in the background with a new stone seating area in the foreground. On nice days, you can often find classes being taught here.

Sewell Auditorium - built in 1929 was the original home of daily chapel on campus. Chapel is still held daily, making ACU the largest organization in the US to do so. Every student is required to go 55 times per semester for every semester they are at the school.

McDonald Hall - the original 1929 boy's dormitory building now houses some freshman girls. It is the only dorm on campus with single-occupancy rooms. Being a wednesday night, most students are at church, making the campus rather desolate. (PS - who else hates the window AC units?)

It's beautiful in my opinion.

Not a great picture, but it's the only way I could get a shot of the entire pond to give it a sense of relativity.

Moody Coliseum - built in the late 1960s is home to ACU's basketball and volleyball teams as well as daily chapel which draws more than 5,000 people.

The Brown Library - built in the 1960s and expanded in the 70s and 80s. The ground floor is home to dozens of computers and a Starbucks in a very relaxed atmosphere which is great for study groups or reading or homework or whatever. It has truly revitalized the idea of a "library." The basement and top floors are still regular library floors filled with thousands upon thousands of books.
