Baldy Hall is the home of the Graduate School of Education, the Graduate School of Social Work, and the School of Information Studies. It is a centrally located building on the spine and is characterized by the varied number of academic units that occupies its space. The second-level corridor that connects Baldy to Jacobs Hall, Lockwood Library, and O'Brian Hall also serves as a snack vending area and a space for gathering, people-watching, and studying.
