One-Time Events

ATU Ghost Tour. February 15, 3:00pm, Hull Student Union. This is a walking tour, so comfy shoes and a jacket (depending on weather) will be key! Please bring a mask, as we will go in some buildings. We will have staff with first-hand encounters who will share their stories! (led by Krystle Manning)
McEver Catacombs Tour. March 15. 3:00pm. Meet in the McEver courtyard / in front of the McEver Observatory (led by Robin Lasey)
Tour Behind the Scenes of ATU Facilities. Tuesday, April 12, 4:00pm. Meet outside Tucker Coliseum by the roll up door on the north size of the building. How do you heat and cool a building like Tucker Coliseum? Apparently by using these weird hidden rooms halfway up the ceiling. You’ll get to see those, along with the enormous boiler and chiller in the creepy mechanical room, in addition to a other Tucker gems. Then we’ll head to Witherspoon to take a look at the Pie Room, the organ pipe access, and the “fourth floor.” ATU Director of Physical Plant, Brian Lasey, will lead the tour and answer your burning questions concerning behind the scenes of ATU facilities (like “What’s that random little building over there? What’s the weirdest animal that’s gotten into a building? What happened to the trailers?”)
