Attractions
There are a number of attractions to visit on campus. It is definitely worth simply taking a walk, as a number of buildings were designed in collaboration with the Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, including Koerner Library and the Museum of Anthropology. Many campus buildings are recognizable from appearances in television and film.
