Albertus Magnus College

Solar Calendar and Mosaic Tiles

Interactive Campus Map

The atrium of the Tagliatela Academic Center is an impressive solar calendar. As the sun moves across the sky, it will stream through the red center of the College seal—set into the southern window wall—illuminating floor tiles that commemorate significant dates in the College's history at one o'clock on that specific day.

The unique building feature was generously gifted by alumnae of Albertus.
