Study/Lounge Areas

In the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering there are a variety of way to kick-back, relax or study between classes.

Study Room

The student study room is located off a very quiet hallway. It's a nice place to retreat to and concentrate on studies alone or with friends.

 

Student Lounge

Near the lounge area are located student mail boxes, copier and snack machines. The lounge attracts students, faculty, and staff and every now and then the department head pops in to sit and chat awhile.

Pavilion and Picnic Tables

The pavilion is a spacious open covered area where students and faculty can often be found lunching, chatting or reading. People who travel around campus will find handy bike racks under the pavilion. This area is also the site of many other department activities like cookouts, ice cream socials and the department's graduation ceremony.

Courtyard @ BAE

The courtyard is located between Weaver's administration building and the main Lab building. The courtyard provides a quiet area with benches. Here students can chat on a cell phone or catch a little fresh air between classes.

BAE Graduate Student Offices

The department makes every effort to accommodate graduate students with shared office space when possible. To date the department has been very successful.

BAE Lawn Area

The lawn in front of Weaver Labs is used not only for outdoor class activities but it's a great place to relax and enjoy time with fellow classmates. Volleyball is a favorite activity at BAE as well as the Department Penny Wars / Pie Throwing event. This is an event held before the holidays where students collect funds in penny jars for the needy. The motivation for giving is enhanced with a chances to pie faculty.
