This replaces a previous version of Cara's GigaPan, which was taken to the west of Brochstein Pavilion. Cara was between classes and happily agreed to be in this panorama; however, there are a couple of problems with it due to my error, which I regret.
Other than that, this is a very beautiful panorama, which has been re-uploaded for your continual enjoyment.
There are other panoramas that have been taken around Brochstein and can be seen here: tinyurl.com/BrochsteinPavillion003
All of the James Surls' sculptures on the campus (www.media.rice.edu/media/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=13775) can be seen via this link: tinyurl.com/Rice-Surls
Note: This panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a beautiful curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth.This hand-held panorama was taken with a Nikon D-70 using a Nikkor 28-80 f/3.3-5.6 G lens and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software. Additional information can be seen in Stitcher Notes.

It's a nice library ... a place to cherish if you can gain admittance.

I know you visit the library and are probably a world-class athlete and a respected mud engineer, but are you a student? Or is the library open to the general public?
David Engle (September 17, 2010, 02:39AM )
There are surprises all over campus, which makes Rice very special and highly rated, but at the same time, very difficult to gain admission ... can you imagine a football or any sports team made up of valedictorians (maybe not exactly, but close to it)? In other words; Rice will only accept a multi-dimensional student, so if you were very good at playing football, you also have to be an exceptional student in the class room and a big plus would have to graduated first in your class. Shepherd School of Music has extraordinarly high requirements to play musical instruments.

The article in the Flyleaf is quite interesting. I can see why you're such a fan of of the library - apart from the fact it is a place to get books of course :-)

Brochstein is a wonderful place for the students to relax, rewind, study, drink refreshments and eat snacks, and this article, actually the issue of Rice Flyleaf explains all: tinyurl.com/BrochsteinPavillion001
Also, we have seen the Pavillion a number of times
in previous GigaPans and will see it again since
it is such a lovely place: www.gigapan.org/searchGigapansList.

This looks like a nice spot to relax. I can see people inside sat at tables. Is this somewhere you can get refreshments?
