Nott Memorial

You’ll attend talks, readings and special events here, and view exhibits of nationally recognized artists in the second floor Mandeville Gallery. Or you might want to study in one of the quiet, comfortable sitting areas on the third floor, beneath the domed roof’s sparkling colored lights and surrounded by artworks in the Wikoff Student Gallery.

Factoids: One of our nation’s most distinctive examples of High Victorian Gothic architecture, the Nott Memorial is the only 16-sided building in North America. It is named for Eliphalet Nott, a minister, inventor and educational pioneer who served as Union’s president for more than six decades, the longest tenure of any American college president.

When you leave the Nott, head away from the center of campus towards Library Lane (opposite direction from Reamer). Follow the sidewalk back to Grant Hall, adjacent to our visitor parking.

We hope you enjoyed your tour. If our offices are open, please stop by and say hi.
