Virtual Tour of Orton Hall

Orton Hall Exterior in the Spring

How many times have you walked by the bell tower on the Oval?  It is the home of Earth Sciences at OSU.

Stop and take a really good look.  Walk around the outside and view the gargoyles. They are all different.  Then, take a look at the rest of the building.  It was created out of native stone in geological order.

In the atrium, is Cryolophosaurus ellioti  (the 1st dinosaur found in Antarctica) .  Accessible from here is the Orton Geological Museum and the Orton Memorial Library.

Take the virtual tour and then drop by for a visit!
