In warm weather, the grassy expanse of Hartman Green draws students outdoors in droves and serves as the site for the majority of major campus events, such as student activity fairs, outdoor concerts and Commencement for the senior class.
Impromptu games of football, Frisbee and soccer break out regularly on the green. During warm spring days and crisp fall afternoons, you'll find dozens of students spread out on blankets or sitting in clusters of Adirondack chairs, studying, socializing, or snoozing.
Squaring off the green are Steinman College Center; Dietz Hall, a residence reserved for students who prefer quiet living; Schnader and Thomas residence halls; Hackman Physical Sciences Building, home to F&M's earth sciences, geology, physics and astronomy departments; and the Patricia E. Harris Center for Business, Government & Public Policy.
