Campus landmarks are a quintessential part of the University. Iconic buildings, statues, open spaces and other landmarks – and their histories and legends – are among the special elements that unite the GW community. Knowing about the landmarks can save campus newcomers from the embarrassment of, for example, heading to the National Zoo when someone says “Meet me by the Hippo.” For the record, the hippo sculpture on the Foggy Bottom campus is GW’s unofficial mascot.
