LU Quizbowl

Do you like trivia (not the Great Midwest kind)? It’s fun!

Quizbowl is a team knowledge competition. Players use a buzzer system to score points for their team by answering questions on a wide range of academic topics. Lawrence University Quizbowl meets during the week for informal practice on real questions and travels throughout the year to compete against teams from schools across the country.

Join us for a meeting at 3 p.m. every Tuesday in Steitz 230.

Rendering of building at 325 E. College Ave.

The new building will support innovative programming that builds on Lawrence’s world-class academics. It will add more than 30,000 square feet of academic space and provide flexibility for future enrollment growth. It will bolster Lawrence’s offerings in the humanities and its growing mathematics, statistics, and computer science programs, plus provide state-of-the art offices and studios for Conservatory of Music faculty, all while supporting the university’s efforts to enhance pathways to greater community and career collaborations.

Scheduled to open in Fall 2025, the building will feature more than 100,000 square feet of space over four floors, with the Trout Museum of Art on the ground floor, innovative academic spaces for Lawrence on the second floor, and market-rate apartments on the upper two floors. Located at the southwest intersection of College Avenue and Drew Street, on the western edge of campus, the building is a partnership between Lawrence and TMA, with Lawrence owning the upper three floors and TMA the ground floor.

The building is designed by Frederick Fisher and Partners, in partnership with Boldt.
