Stretching from Webber Hall to the Bell Tower, Pierce Lawn is a popular hang out spot on a sunny day. Students can be spotted passing frisbees, taking naps, chatting and doing homework on the lush grass. During events like Block Party and Spring Splash, the space has been used to place the main stage, carnival rides, food stands and a variety of entertaining activities.
Clubs and associations gather around the lawn during Welcome Week to recruit wide-eyed freshmen and some keep doing so on Wednesdays during club tablings. The bright greenery is meticulously taken care of by gardeners who carefully mow the grass weekly. This pop of color at the center of the university has proven to be a very useful shortcut to Life Sciences 1500 and other places on campus. If you choose to take a shortcut, be wary of the morning dew or overnight rain as your shoes and pants may get wet.
