      Did you know? The Fred Webb Jr. Outdoor Geology Laboratory, located outside Rankin Hall, is an interactive rock garden consisting of more than 50 boulders from various provinces that range in type, size and age. The garden is named in honor of Dr. Fred Webb Jr., the first and longest-serving chair of App State’s Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences, who retired from the university in 2004. The garden is also home to Archie the aetosaur — a bronze sculpture of a prehistoric reptile that prowled the Earth more than 230 million years ago.
