Campus Building Sparknotes
A quick, casual explainer of the places you'll need to know on campus.
Admissions Building (Admissions): Where they figure out who’s going to come here.
Andreen Hall (Andreen): Looks kind of like a castle. Home to freshmen, sophomores, and ghosts.
Bergendoff Hall of Fine Arts (Bergendoff or Bergie): Two groups of people use this building: Fine arts students and freshmen taking Art of Listening.
Brunner Theatre Center (The Brunner Center): Come here to catch a show, grab a snack, pick up mail, or buy a textbook worth a 50 years’ supply of ramen.
Carlsson-Evald Hall (Evald): Has like 7 different departments inside, so you’ll probably be here sooner or later.
Carver Physical Education Center (Carver): Sports happen here. And it's also where Grey Giovanine throws his suit coats.
Centennial Hall (Centennial): No classrooms, but it does have a great auditorium and artwork.
The Gerber Center for Student Life (The Gerber Center): Everyone does everything in here. Eat. Study. Socialize. Repeat.
Denkmann Memorial Building (Denkmann): Languages are spoken here (English isn’t one of them).
Erickson Residence Center (Erickson): Like a smaller version of Westie with a lounge in the basement.
Hanson Hall of Science (Hanson or the Science Building): If you see a zombie leaving here, it could be a Bio student coming from a 4-hour lab.
Old Main (Old Main): It’s old… But it has cool new classrooms. If you’ve ever picked up a brochure from Augustana, you’ve seen this building. (See above!)
Franklin W. Olin Center (Olin): Work on your CORE (Short name for Careers, Opportunities, Research, Exploration).
PepsiCo Recreation Center (PepsiCo): Work on another type of CORE, or work to become the intramural champion of the world.
Seminary Hall (Seminary or Sem): I don’t know why they trust freshmen to live in the same building as the admissions offices.
Sorensen Hall (Sorensen): Business majors have classes here. Also, where care packages are picked up (these are clutch).
Duane R. Swanson Commons (Swanson): Fancy new dorms.
Westerlin Residence Center (Westie): If you like a lot of people and buying junk food directly after working out, this is the place for you.
