LOGIC HOUSE

The main classroom building serving the College's primary field of study, Perpendicular Logic, it was built as a new home for the School of Logic and Philosophy as the College expanded. Logic House anchors the campus's northwest quadrangle, known as Logic Quad. Standing foursquare, rising four stories, and encompassing one acre for its inner court, this is the largest purely academic structure on campus.

The lobby provides convenient access to concierge services, virtual computer labs, and an express freight elevator to the bunker housing our trans-planar passenger depot.

On the southeast wall of the lobby are found marble tablets with inscriptions and gilt bas-relief busts honoring the Three Founders and the First Student.

BRANLEIGH HALL

This hand-colored mezzotint shows the hall in its original location at the west end of the Reflecting Pool. It was the first School of Logic and Philosophy on this campus, and also served briefly as an interim library. When the new library was erected, Branleigh was moved to its current location, later developed into Logic Quad.

Originally the ancestral home of the Branleighs of Upper Lessing, the fourth Earl Branleigh despised this Classical gem, and with the rise of Art Deco sensibilities early in the last century was only too glad to donate his former mansion to a worthy cause. The Earl was a staunch benefactor of the College during the period when its present campus had just been acquired and the first facilities were being built.

Branleigh Hall is belabored by the rather morbid nickname Philosopher's Leap, owing to the unfortunate toppling of one of its statues which bore a striking but purely coincidental resemblance to a brilliant but ultimately suicidal figure from that period of philosophy known as the Age of Twilight.

THE CRESCENT

Modelled after the great crescents of 18th century England, this grand sweeping curve provides residential quarters for faculty, administration, visiting scholars, international students, and guests of the college. The first floor is occupied by various offices, including those of Alumni, Student Employment and Rehabilitation, Public Relations, and others.




HESPRITT HALL and THEATER

The premiere assembly space for concerts, productions, and college ceremonies, the 2,000-seat Hespritt Theater is home to the Dept. of Semantic and Ruminative Performance Arts. The adjoining Hall is home to a number of departments such as Mass Communications and Interspatial Transmissions.

At the opposite end of the building, occupying all three floors plus the roof-mounted 100-foot propagation test deck, is our Broadcast Technologies Station. The BTS is ground zero for all known inter-planar and extra-temporal communications experiments in our galaxy. It also supports mundane functions such as all radio, cellular, and television signal routing to every campus building. Just behind it is located the College communications mast, a 500 foot engineering marvel supporting microwave relay, radio, radar, and television antennas.

ANNEX BUILDING

Half of Annex Building is occupied by the Gron Mega-Computing Center, the operations and equipment center of the College WAN. This includes quintuple-redundant Cray, IBM , and distributed network processing supercomputers that power all advanced computing functions on campus. Annex also houses every extra inch of space ever needed for all the other departments, so the rest of the buildings won't have to be ruined by odd additions and constant remodeling. Staff housed here telecommutes to the rest of their department.

Shortly after the erection of the communications mast, the Dept. of the Interior discovered a new section of catacombs - next to Main Shoring Pylon Number 3. The presence of the caverns was a threat to the pylon, and thus the mast's stability. Interior decided this was a perfect excuse to get building proposal #458 funded. Thus Annex Building was born, built to provide badly-needed space but also as a structural aid to Pylon Number 3, which stands in the odd alley formed between Hespritt and Annex. Its name derives from the fact that no one knew what to use it for, except that it had to be built immediately and thus required a name.

Duplexes for senior staff and visiting dignitaries are located in the valley behind Annex Building.
