POI 1 Tour Image
Miller Hall
Welcome to our first stop! Miller Hall holds the John C. Wells Planetarium, a room containing a really neat, state of the art system that allows viewers to travel around the solar system, orbit planets, and when back on earth, simulate what the night sky in the Shenandoah valley would look like without any light pollution. This facility also hosts astronomy classes and free viewings for JMU students, adult visitors, and young kids from schools across the valley. Let’s head on up to our next stop now, Wilson Hall. Continue up Madison drive, and once you get to the big stone circle with the sundial in the middle, head right, down the main stone walkway.

POI 2 Tour Image
Wilson Hall
Coming up on our left is the wonderful Wilson Hall! Wilson Hall is named after President Woodrow Wilson who was born in Staunton, Virginia, closeby to JMU. Wilson Hall has seen many different uses over the years. From housing the President’s and the administrative offices, to an auditorium, a post office, a recording studio, and classrooms, the building has fulfilled a lot of different roles. In 2019, the building completed its first major renovation since opening in 1931. It now hosts several history displays, a 3-D printing lab, classrooms, study rooms, and much, much more! The second floor of Wilson is one of my favorite studying spots because of its great view of the quad, and how few people know about it! Speaking of the Quad, if you haven’t already, take a look to your right.
