Academic Surge

the western entrance

Academic Surge has the good luck of having one of the weirdest building names on campus. That being said, the building itself is fairly plain, aside from the architect having an odd industrial fetish. Inside are numerous computer labs that highly used by civil engineering students.

Academic Surge is not to be confused with Surge I, Surge II, Surge III or Surge IV.

Academic Surge is located on the south side of Engineering III (which is near Kemper Hall, for those not familiar w/ Eng. III).

This building hosts (at least) the following:

• Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization
  

• Institute for Transportation Studies
  

• School of Education
  

• Bohart Museum of Entomology
  

• Museum of Wildlife and Fisheries Biology
  

• One very odd (now only occasionally broken) ice cream vending machine.
  

• A very high concentration of late night grad students
