The Shapes of BG

Many of the campus building are symbolic in their architecture and bring character to Bowling Green State University. 

 

Moore Musical Arts Building
From the air, it resembles a falcon, the official mascot of the University. The building also has 88 practice rooms to represent the 88 keys on piano.

 
Student Recreation Center
From the air, it resembles a falcon, the official mascot of the University.




Bowen-Thompson Student Union

The Center of it All.. at the heart of every organization, there's a magnet that draws people together, a force that fosters diversity, thrives on creativity, and inspires lasting action. At Bowling Green State University, that magnet is the Bowen-Thompson Student Union.

 


Jerome Library

The library resembles five books between two bookends representing the five colleges on campus at the time the library was built.


Little Red Schoolhouse

Located near the Education Building, the Little Red Schoolhouse was originally built in Norwalk Ohio in 1875. The Schoolhouse was brought to BGSU in 1975 and is called the Education Memorabilia Center. Considering BG’s history as a teacher’s college it is fitting to have the Schoolhouse on campus. Over 1,000 people per year visit this historical site.
   

Carillion Park

is located between the Education Building and Jerome Library. This was the site of the first football stadium and the clock tower stands on the fifty-yard line of the original field
