One of the main features of the six-story Winther Hall is the large lecture room used for such classes as Psycholo- gy. Two smaller halls also accomodate lecture classes. Winther Hall also houses four floors of classrooms, and fac- ulty offices on five of the six floors. Almost any education major Winther Hall would at one time or another in his college life step foot in Winther since Special, Elemen- tary, Secondary, Safety, and other education courses are taught there. For the stu- dentts convenience, the Winther Hall lobby provides various vending machines and a relaxing atmosphere to al- low students to unwind be- tween classes.
