Campus Detail

Why Coppertop?

In addition to the word "Roadrunner," our campus mascot, you'll often hear the word "Coppertop" in the names of buildings and other things on campus. This is because UW-Richland buildings have distinctive copper roofs.

Classroom Building

A computer classroom and student computer lab are among features found in the Classroom Building where many of your lecture/discussion courses will be held. Computers in the computer classroom are all linked... and students have Internet access through PCs in the computer lab, as well as wireless access throughout most of the campus. An art studio is also located in this building.

Miller Memorial Library

The online inter-library system and library database research access at the Miller Memorial Library puts the world at your fingertips. The local collection offers over 40,000 volumes; thousands of tapes, recordings and CDs; and over 100 newspapers, magazines, and journals. A student word processing center is located in the library. We have a textbook rental plan which can save you significant dollars and the textbook library, too, is located in the Miller Library.

Science Hall

Your laboratory science courses will usually meet in this building. This is where you may study the Earth (geology/geography) . . . the Stars (astronomy) . . . the World around you (physics, botany, biology) . . . the People in it (anatomy, physiology). An expansion & renovation of this building, completed in 2000-2001, added state-of-the-art labs, new distance education and laptop computer classrooms.

Wallace Student Center

The Roadrunner Cafe, bookstore and student lounge are located on the west side of the building. Plays and concerts take place in the Coppertop Theatre, located on the east side of the Wallace Student Center. Our music department is centered in this building. The Student Senate office is also located here. Meal plans are available for weekday breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. At present, a committee is working on a plan to renovate and expand this building.
