The Architecture school is housed in MD Anderson Hall off the main academic quadrangle of the University.

The design of Carleton's campus and buildings deliberately rejected monumentalism, focusing instead on the academic quadrangle, aiming to present an egalitarian rather than elite sensibility.

Mr. Carter spoke at commencement exercises that were held under sunny skies at the university's academic quadrangle.

In early 2000, the Sellinger School moved into a new state-of-the-art facility constructed on the north side of the academic quadrangle.

The building resides on the northwest side of the academic quadrangle, neighboring Maryland Hall.

The building, which was dedicated on Sept. 25, is the first in a new academic quadrangle envisioned in the college master plan by Mitchell/Giurgola.

They comprise four ranges which enclose an area known as Quad, the largest academic quadrangle in the UK and one of the largest in the world.

Some of the savings were used to rebuild an arid plaza as a more verdant, inviting academic quadrangle, said Dr. Brian J. Byrne, the vice president for administration.

Physically, the building provides a southern terminus to the academic quadrangle while affording library patrons a scholarly atmosphere and idyllic view of Lake Maxinkuckee.
