The Grizzly's Habitat: Marquette

Al McGuire Center: The on-campus gymnasium that hosts Volleyball and Women's Basketball. Named for the legendary Marquette head coach who took the team to a 1979 National Championship
AMU: The Alumni Memorial Union. This new and beautiful building houses pretty much anything you could need to live on campus. The mail center, Spirit Shop, Brew Bayou, Marquette Place, and heaps of ballrooms and conference rooms all live in the AMU
Boat House: The Milwaukee Boat House located on the Milwaukee River about 2.5 miles from campus. This is where Marquette Crew trains and stores its boats
Bradley Center: The arena in downtown Milwaukee that is home to the Milwaukee Bucks (NBA), Admirals (hockey), and the Marquette Golden Eagles Men's Basketball Team
Cobeen Hall: The all girls dorm on campus. This is also where I eat on weekends because the dining hall in Straz is closed and has terrible hours on Friday
Memorial Library: The old and, at one time, only library building on campus. Housed here are the book stacks, some reading rooms, and a bit of study space. Less popular as a study location becasue it is stuffier and quiter than Raynor and has VERY low ceilings
O'Donnell Hall: The all guys dorm on campus. Also home to most of the men's crew team
Raynor (Opus North) Bridge: Officially Opus North but universally called Raynor Bridge or just "The Bridge." This area connects Raynor and Memorial Libraries and has a coffee shop and tons of study/meeting space. A popular destination for socializing, relaxing, or doing light homework
Raynor Library: The new library building on campus. It houses reference materials, spcieal collections, and a ton of great study space. It also holds some of the origional Lord of the Rings manuscripts
Rec Plex: The alternative rec center in Straz Tower. It used to be a YMCA but the University converted it so that it now has cardio and weight rooms, basketball courts, racquetball, and a swimming pool
St. Joan of Arch: A chapel from France where Joan of Arc prayed that was brought to campus, brick for brick in 1965. It holds the distinction as the "Only Medieval structure in the Western Hemisphere dedicated to its origional purpose"
Straz Tower: The 18 story monstrosity of a dorm that houses sophomores and the Honors Program Freshman. Also resident are the Rec Plex, Bob's Barber Shop, and a small theater
The Annex: Officially the "Union Sports Annex," a University-owned sports bar and rec center. Includes a restaurant with lots of TVs, a sport court, and bowling alley. A great destination for NFL games, Marquette away games, and Trivia and Bingo nights
The Brew: The name of the University owned coffee shop with locations all over campus
The Quad or The Mall: The only real green space on campus. It stretchs from 12th to 17th street between Wisconsin and Wells streets and serves as the setting for most academic buildings
Valley Fields: About a 15 minute walk from campus, the Valley is a field comlex with two turf fields for club and IM sports as well as a grass field for varsity men's and women's soccer.
