Green Earth Sciences

Green Earth Sciences

Constructed in the early nineties and dedicated on October 21, 1993, the Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Earth Sciences Research Building houses (along with several others on the Stanford campus) classrooms, offices, and laboratories for research in the field of Earth Sciences. The building's extended basement contains the sunken "Kresge Plaza," in which rock sculptures are designed to look like a miniature version of the local geological faults.
