The Department of Astrophysics building is one of the less familiar structures on campus to many students. Tucked away down Ivy Lane, Peyton Hall seems removed from the hustle and bustle of campus, much like the objects of their study.

College has always been seen as a time of change, personal evolution, growth and exploration, a viewpoint shared by high school seniors lusting for the next year's freedoms, and by alumni reminiscing about their past experiences.
