Description
General Description
The construction of the former LaGarde Building (now demolished) to the north and the Mess Hall (Building 57) to the east enclosed the open space to the north of the Forwood Building (Building 55), which was formally landscaped with specimen trees and pathways. The area was renovated with the construction of the new LaGarde Building in 1992, but the formation of the quadrangle itself is still intact. Aside from the foundation plantings in front of Forwood and the Mess Hall Building, no historic fabric remains in the quadrangle.
