- Mendel Hall. Named for pioneering geneticist and Augustinian monk
Gregor Mendel, this 1960 science center holds computer science labs and other science facilities. In 1998, the college
commissioned a 7-foot bronze sculpture of Mendel by Philadelphia
sculptor James Peniston, and installed it outside the hall's entrance.
- The Oreo. This large black-and-white sculpture by Jay Dugan, more formally known as "The Awakening," sits front and center along one of the most-travelled
routes on campus. The nickname is appropriate given the sculpture's cookie-like appearance.
A popular student meeting place, The Oreo is a frequent home to club events, alumni photographs, and warm-weather
people-watching.
