The University bought 152 acres of Lake Michigan and filled in 74 of them leaving a large lagoon in the center. This allowed the campus to grow eastward. The Library, Norris Student Center, Pick Steiger Concert Hall and numerous other buildings were constructed on this new land since its completion in 1964.]]> Earthcomber 135 The Northwestern Arch Earthcomber 127 The Rock The Rock is hard to explain to outsiders. It was brought from Wisconsin in 1902 to become a lovely fountain between University and Harris Halls. It became the victim of sorority and fraternity pranks in the 1940s.
