Around the School of Statistics

Image of conference room The conference room. Used for meetings, oral exams, and social events. It has a great view (overlooks the flowers).
Image of view from conference room The view from the conference room. The bridge and walkway are across the Mississippi River to the West Bank campus. The funny looking stainless steel building is a Frank Gehry designed art museum. The brown spot is where the flowers will bloom when summer arrives.
