Buildings D, E and G

You are standing near the bust of William Rainey Harper at the center of campus, facing northeast toward the Building D rotunda's windowed main entrance.

To your left are sidewalks to Buildings E, C and P. The sidewalk to Building E has stairs closer to Building D, and a long ramp closer to Building C. 

To your right is the sidewalk to Buildings H and X.

Behind you in the entry way to the Library (Building F) and Building L. For Building L, there are groundfloor doors, as well as second level doors, which are up a tall tiered stairway.

You're outside facing the Building E entrance, which has a small tree and a light pole in a planter in front of the doors.

To your left is the Gerard Singer sculpture Permutant-Modular Sculpture (1983). Colored ferro-concrete, 12’ x 24’ x 23’, Gift of the artist (1989). This modular sculpture by French artist Gerard Singer depicts a primitive, barren terrain inspired by drawings of landscape elevations. Singer has said he would like his artworks to “soften” the transition between nature and architecture, eliminating the harsh contrasts that exist between modern, technological environments and their natural surroundings. Permutant was shown at the International Art Show of contemporary sculpture at Navy Pier, and was donated to the College in 1989 by the artist and the Ministere des Relations Exterieures, France.

Beyond the sculpture to your left is Building A, and there is a walk way between Buildings A and E heading north, and heading south is a tall outdoor staircase leading up to the Buildings A and C entrances.

To your right, a sidewalk leads to the Building D rotunda and the outdoor quad at the center of campus.

Behind you is Building C, which is a long bring building that sits at the top of a small hill. 

You are standing in the center of the Building D rotunda, which is the round, sun-filled main entrance to Building D. It's not shown in the image, but the rotunda is filled with comfortable chairs, and often hosts events or information tables. Seating along the round overlook of the second floor is also visible. You are facing south toward the doors that lead outside.
