The Plant and Environmental Sciences (PES) Building is squished in between the Tennis Courts to the North, Veihmeyer Hall to the South, and Hunt Hall to the East. SISWEB will also refers to this building as PLESC (ie. PLESC 01137). The three-story building houses faculty from the departments of Agronomy and Range Science; Land, Air and Water Resources; Environmental Science and Policy; and Environmental Horticulture.

You can get to the balcony from PES 3001, the main meeting room in the building. Natives of the building call it the PEZ building, after the [wikipedia]candy dispensers.

There is an Edible Landscaping demonstration project on the walk up from the south side, where the public can pick veggies when ripe. Margaret Lloyd was responsible for the veggie garden getting started.

This building is locked after hours and on weekends so if you take a GIS or related class and need to use the lab after hours plan accordingly.
