Visitors can explore the grounds on foot, with well-marked pathways between buildings providing orientation. Access to most outdoor areas is possible during daylight hours.
The Old Central building from 1894 was the first permanent structure on the grounds and originally housed all departments. The structure underwent multiple renovations to accommodate different academic functions.
