Campus Tours and Visit
We generally* offer Campus and Residence Hall tours Monday through Friday at 11 am and 2 pm, following our Academic Calendar, while our Information Sessions are held at 10 am and 1 pm to complement these tours. On Mondays and Fridays during the school year we offer a tour at 9:30 am.
All tours take approximately 90 minutes, and the information sessions run under an hour.
Tours and Information Sessions meet in the Pankey Visitor Center located within the main lobby of Argyros Forum (Building 12 on the Campus Map) at 386 N Center Street. Please check in 5 minutes prior to your appointment.
The Campus portion of the tour offers a general look at the central section of our campus, including the recently completed Wilson Field, Oliphant Hall and the Fish Interfaith Center. For tours of a particular department or facility, such as the Leatherby Libraries or the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, please contact that department about the possibility of setting up a tour specific to their department or facility. (Note: Not all departments offer a specific tour)
