Guide to the Best Campus Spots with Stevie Pointer

First up, let’s start this tour off strong with a stop at the Noel Fine Arts Center. Home to UWSP’s talented arts students and faculty, this building serves as a place where students can express their creativity and talents. Throughout the year, the NFAC hosts a variety of public events in its venues, including different music pieces, dances, and theater performances in spaces such as Michelsen Hall and Jenkins Theatre, and more! Check out UWSP Tickets to see upcoming shows.

On the way to the science building, we can make a stop at the well-known POINTER dog sculpture. Created in 2011 by UWSP alumnus August Kochanowski in his father Boleslaw Kochanowski’s studio, the piece was sponsored by the Carlsten Gallery Student Advisory Committee (CGSAC). The 2,500-pound eight-foot-tall sculpture is now placed outside the Daniel O. Trainer Natural Resources Building. Greeting visitors with great photo opportunities.

Next, let's head to The Science Building on campus. The Science Building at UWSP offers a variety of exhibits and shows open to the public, including a look into the Allen F. Blocher Planetarium, the Arthur J. Pejsa Observatory, Museum of Natural History, and even a Laser Light Show put on by UWSP students.

For a bonus stop, let's venture next door to the science building and make a stop at the Chemistry Biology Building!

Continuing the tour, let's head over to the College of Professional Studies Building (CPS). Whether it be nursing, early childhood education, business, or another professional discipline, this building houses them all! Here you can find the university's Gesell Institute for Early Childhood Learning as well as the delicious CPS Café to kick back and relax at. 

Our final stop on the tour is The Dreyfus University Center  (DUC), often considered the hub of the campus. The DUC is a place where students, faculty, and visitors can enjoy events, fairs, different dining options, and more. Stop by Homegrown Café for a quick coffee or baked good, or spend some time down in the Basement Brewhaus, where you can play pool, enjoy board games, or participate in trivia nights. The building also features three different event spaces such as the Laird Room, Alumni Room, and Encore, which often hold events that are open to the public.
