Begin your journey at Reid Hall, one of Gators dormitories that provides a space where lower classmen can congregate and set picnics on a sunny day. This hall has been a part of the Gators dorms for many years now. As you walk past Reid Hall, you’ll notice a lot of construction, which will lead you to alternative tunnels for students to walk. This shows that the University of Florida is always evolving the landscape of the campus. During the tunnel walk, you will pass by the Broward Dining Facility. This is a place where students get breakfast, catch up with friends, or study before classes.

These buildings like the Financial Aid Office and the business office are places where many students come to solve their school issues. Some of those issues include navigating forms, scholarships, and funding to make the UF experience better.
University Auditorium and the Center of Campus
Cutting through the middle of the campus will save a lot of walking time. To do so, you’ll have to always walk towards the tall brown tower in the center of the campus. From Stadium Rd, you will have to take a diagonal sidewalk to arrive there. On the way, you will see the iconic University Auditorium. A place where the University of Florida hosts a variety of events, from musical performances to guest lectures. If you continue down the diagonal sidewalk, you will find yourself in the center of campus.
The Liberal Arts and Sciences Quadrant / The Union Road Administrative Stretch
At this point you can see the Liberal Arts and Sciences Quadrant from the auditorium to the left. This Quadrant is where philosophy, physics, social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences coexist. If you keep going deeper down Stadium Rd, you’ll eventually reach the sports complexes, where Gator football and basketball happens. On game days, the arenas are filled with blue and orange. If you look to the right, you will see more administrative halls, including the Registrar's Office and other essential student services.
