The Peter W. Stanley Academic Quad, dedicated in 2007, is a large, beautifully landscaped garden and courtyard space located between Pearsons, Crookshank and Mason Halls. Each building has its own signature garden space that acts as a transition from the quad to building entrances. Outdoor teaching and social spaces are also an integral part of the landscape, including a new pergola, barbecue and small formal lawn area, and a permanent table and seats for outdoor classes.
