THE ENVIRONMENT One of the many unique aspects of Woodward is its cam- pus. Unlike other area schools, the campus is located on thirty- six acres in College Park, a part of the metro-Atlanta area. A variety of buildings dating from various stages of the Acade- my ' s eighty-one-year history enables the people of Woodward to say proudly that they are a part of an institution unparal- leled anywhere else. Probably one of the most outstanding aspects of Wood- ward ' s campus is Richardson Hall, the fine arts center. Locat- ed in this large building is a three-hundred and fifty seat performing arts auditorium which provides the perfect setting for the many plays, musicals, and concerts performed by Woodward students. Also located in this building is Wood- ward ' s own television studio where interested students study television journalism technique through WATV productions. In addition, facilities arc available for students to sculpt, paint, and work with pottery. Finally, the Fine Arts Center houses Woodward ' s dance and band studios. The heritage of GMA-Woodward shows in its campus, giv- ing it an unusual sense of timelessness. To those on campus, the best known example of Woodward ' s heritage is the front gate. Constructed in 1935, the front gate has been a symbol of Woodward ' s quality and stability for many years. The impres- sive monuments are familiar features which both testify to Woodward ' s heritage and add beauty to the campus. Woodward ' s campus also contains many impressive stu- dent-oriented facilities. The student lounge, Colquitt Hall, is one of these facilities and provides a place for the students of Woodward to relax, enjoy a snack, study in groups, watch television, or play games such as table tennis or pocket bil- liards. Another favorite spot on campus is the courtyard. Located in the center of Brewster Hall, the courtyard provides the students with an outside area in which to talk with friends or study. Through its many student-oriented facilities, Wood- ward creates an enjoyable place to work and grow. 4 CAMPUS
