Olson Hall is on campus between Shields Library and Sproul Hall and was named for Gus Olson. It was designed by Gardner Action Dailey and was built in 1963, along with Sproul Hall. It is a two story grey building filled with classrooms, a small print station and a language lab. If you're a humanities major at UCD, chances are you've had at least one class here. If you're a Linguistics major, welcome to your new home.
The basement floor has nine Campus Vending Machines (and a microwave) and there are another three vending machines (pictured above) outside on the Memorial Union side of the building.
Just outside of Olson Hall is Cargo Coffee where you can get coffee, espresso, and assorted food.
Olson 109 is the strange colorful classroom.
The UCD Language Learning Center is in the basement, along with the print station.
