Benjamin Hall The Center for Environmental Genomics part of the School of Oceanography resides on the 3rd floor of Benjamin Hall and occupies 11, square feet in a newly renovated lab space. Most popular 1. Summer promises deep shade and sudden sunshine; the fall offers crimson leaves and crisp vistas. Any time of year you have the ornate Collegiate Gothic architecture, inspired by the classic quadrangles of Oxford and Cambridge, offering food for the eye and for the soul.
Did any of them know how successful it would be? Sadly, the trees are aging—as are the buildings. Now it is our turn to preserve what they accomplished. The London Plane sycamore trees planted on Armistice Day, , to honor the 58 UW alumni, students and faculty, 57 men, one woman who died during World War I form a gorgeous, haunting canopy.
Although 58 were planted in , today trees grow along the one-quarter-mile segment of Memorial Way from N. The entrance to the street, while not enveloped by the trees, is framed by two stone pylons that were placed there in They carry plaques with the names of University people who lost their lives in World War I. The plaques are kept as alive as the trees, as one local fraternity requires its pledges to polish the names of its listed brothers to this very day.
But it is the trees that really transport you, no matter the season. You can lose yourself as you walk down the sidewalk under the droopy branches toward the heart of campus.
Emerging at the open space surrounding the main campus flagpole, you know you have just been someplace special. Sports stadiums always have been magnets for my attention, especially those with the history and grandeur of the home of the Dawgs. For one thing, the setting is mesmerizing, with its signature view of Lake Washington and Mount Rainier from the north stands. For this, as we all know, is a cathedral of football excellence, where the Huskies routinely run roughshod over their opponents winning 61 of their past 70 games there and going since play in Husky Stadium started in with a rare home loss to Dartmouth, of all teams.
In fact, the audible mayhem once was clocked at a headache-inducing decibels in one ESPN measurement. And why not? Head behind the cluster of small brick buildings to the south of the massive UW Medical Center and you will find yourself in a piece of campus paradise—the Lake Washington Ship Canal Pathway. What the pathway offers is waterfront real estate that is lush, green and quiet. Much of it used to make up the long-gone but much beloved University Golf Course now home to the health sciences complex.
Take a close look at the open spaces between the rows of trees and you can easily make out that you are standing on what used to be a golf course. The course winds under the Montlake Bridge and behind Husky Stadium, offering a wonderful place for runners, walkers and those of us who just want to take a moment to enjoy the fresh air, watching the geese and ducks along the shimmering water. Today it is for people and squirrels.
