Go Zags by Jim Ehrhardt






No, this isn’t about basketball, or baseball, or even golf. It’s about a walk across the Gonzaga campus on a bright spring day. 





Just up the hill from the athletic complex is the Applied Science building which proudly shows its sweeping lines. Gonzaga does have an interesting mix of old and new architecture. While some of its buildings date to its founding in 1887 many others are modern like this one. 



It is early in the season and the trees are still bare of leaves, but that won’t last long. Some few of the trees are just beginning to bud.




It is a little cool today and just about perfect for chasing a ball in the central Quad Square.


There is a lot of activity at the Crosby Student Center today. This center was named for the famous singer/actor and Gonzaga graduate, Bing Crosby.



It’s really hard to miss this sign.


Almost time to leave the campus, and on the far west edge of campus is the Jundt Fine Art Center and Museum. This is one of the newest additions to the campus and its design seems to be an interesting melding of old world and modern. It houses a central exhibition hall and a large art gallery where today the final art projects of graduating seniors are on display. And for another day -- the Jundt Art Center is open to visitors and admission is free.
