G Physics Math Astronomy Building

PMA is home to three College of Natural Sciences departments: Math, Physics, and Astronomy. One of the many hands-on experiments physics students and faculty conduct is a watermelon drop from atop the building, applying concepts of speed, acceleration, and velocity. PMA has its own telescope and stargazing parties and contains the world-famous, high-power Texas Petawatt Laser in its basement.


Next Stop: Welch Hall (WEL)

Go back down Speedway in the direction you came (south, toward the canoe sculpture). Cross 24th street. Welch Hall is the first building on your right.
