Take a look at the MRU campus

One can wonder what this did before it became a strange, blocked off brick hole in the floor of Mount Royal University’s E-wing. Maybe it contained the elixir of the fountain of eternal youth. Or maybe it just held regular water. We can be sure of only tw

A secret location is hidden in plain sight. This dormant water fountain is tucked away and is not appealing to the eye during the winter. In the summer, it makes for a pleasant study spot and a stunning visual for Mount Royal students to enjoy. For now, i

As time goes on, places are left forgotten in plain sight. This forgotten pool, located just off Main Street in MRU, holds memories of simpler times when you could finish class and go for a quick swim in the middle of the school. One can only wonder if on

A maintenance closet was left open on campus. What secrets are inside? A glimpse behind the scenes ? Or a liminal space never to be seen by students? (Joshua Bruha, CMRU.ca)

Mount Royal University features many stale concrete structures on its campus. This particular bridge above the International Education department assists hundreds of students travelling to their classes, and it is a common hotspot for Canada Geese in the

The cold concrete walls of the Mount Royal campus do little more than hold the building up. There is not much that can be derived from the brutalist construction of the campus. (Ryan Mouck, CMRU.CA)

Mount Royal University uses brutalist architecture with it's main building called Lincoln Park. This roof is an example of the brutalism that can be found around the main building. Located in one of the courtyards in the middle of the building. The roof i

I hate concrete. Unfortunately for me, MRU just so happens to have a whole lot of it. Mount Royal University's Lincoln Park building was built in the 70s, when brutalism was in its infancy, and people hadn't quite realized how decrepit and depressing it i

The Skittles wrapper on the ground at Mount Royal University is for a bite size bag of Skittles, which contain approximately 12 pieces of candy per bag. The wrapper still contains a bright red colour to signify that it was just recently thrown on the grou

Some trash left behind in the MRU cafeteria. This litter is left at a table that is surrounded by multiple garbage bins. (Wil Brennan, CMRU.ca)

This blue recycle bin can be found in the hallway of Mount Royal University. On the main street there are other trash cans where students can throw away garbage and landfill. (Nicola Hoepfl, CMRU.ca)

A collection of trash cans on the Mount Royal University Campus. The different bins are lined up, by colour, to represent the different type of trash needed to be deposited in them, with an emphasis on blue at the front. (Oli Dormer, CMRU.ca)

An ordinary trash bin located outside East Gate on the MRU campus. This trash bin has been made to survive nature's elements and features the MRU Cougars logo in honour of team spirit. (Yasmin Lee, CMRU.ca)

Trash cans are often thankless pieces of furniture because we put things we no longer want inside them. This photo puts trashcans at centre stage, but leaves the cans dark to emphasize their invisibility to passing students.

Students often leave garbage around campus. These photos serve as a reminder of cleaning up after yourself and others in order to make the campus a happier, cleaner place.

Fossilized remains of a dinosaur with text that has fun facts to learn about. It is the smallest complete set of fossils on campus. There are many other larger complete dinosaurs around East Gate and B wing on the second floor. They also have descriptions

Although technically not a dinosaur by definition, the Pteranodon is the most famous, high flying reptile, often featured in dinosaur media. MRU's very own Pteranodon flies just above East Gate.

The Elasmosaurus lived during the late cretaceous period in north America. they have the most vertebrae out on any other known animals. MRU's Elasmosaurus lives on the second floor of the B- wing. (Emma Payne, CMRU.ca)

Two artifacts fossilized ocean life from the prehistoric era. Placed behind a glass case beside the entrance to MRU's East Gate Entrance. More fossils are showcased here and in the B Wing on the second floor. (Mae Edillon, CMRU.ca)
