9 Specimens!

If you enter the Biology Building through the glass atrium on the north side and walk into the hallway just past the food court, you will encounter an odd display that seems to go mostly unnoticed by the many students who walk through the building each day. The glass cases lining the hallway are filled with every kind of specimen you can imagine, from dinosaur models to squids in jars to taxidermy birds. Take some time to enjoy this strange mini-museum on your way to the inviting warmth of the biology greenhouse!
