Make
your way toward the fountain in front of Cascade Hall. Cascade
and the Volcanology building south of it house the main office
and laboratories of the Department of Geological Sciences where
scientists and study geophysics,
petrology, mineralogy, paleontology
and stratigraphy.
Inside
Cascade Hall, you will find geology display cases. An exhibit
on the first floor shows the details of how rocks are sliced and
ground for microscope viewing. Another series of cases exhibit
mineral specimens.
The
large fountain in the courtyard was designed by Alice Wingwall
(1990) and titled “Cascade Charlie: a water contemplation
place.” Alice Wingwall is a blind artist, who created the
fountain by the sounds water makes when falling on rocks.
