Northeastern view of campus from the roof of Jordan Hall

Description:	The center of this northeastern view of campus, taken from the roof of Jordan Hall, is Norris Plaza. Donated by Fern E. Norris in memory of her son Dr. Max S. Norris, former chairman of Butler Universitys Board of Trustees, construction on the plaza began in May 1995. Mrs. Norris wanted to create a memorial for her son, but she also wanted to create a space where students could gather. Designed by landscape architect Ron Howe, the low walls are designed for sitting and the four and half foot tall lighted fountain has two waterfalls. Butler University President Geoffrey Bannister suggested the idea of adding a speaking stone where students can stand to speak about what is on their minds. The plaza was officially dedicated on Sunday, September 24, 1995. The buildings beyond the plaza are Lilly Hall, Clowes Memorial Hall, and Hinkle Fieldhouse.
