Top 5 Grad Photo Locations

5. Reaud Courtyard

The Wayne A. Reaud Building, one of LU’s recent additions, is a mix of the modern architecture found on newer college campuses but with touches that give it a classic collegiate feel. The columns that lead way into the building are a perfect backdrop is you want to add a touch of professionalism to your photo set. Also, the Lamar University sign on the front side of the building facing the highway offers a great opportunity for snagging a shot next to the name of your alma mater.

4. Setzer Balcony

One of my favorite features of the new Setzer Student Center has to be the balcony, officially named "The Veranda." It a great spot for an unconventional photo that looks out over one of LU’s best landscapes.

3. Art Building

Want to show off your creative side? The unique architecture of the art building, attached to the Dishman Art Museum, and the interesting sculptures located within make for one of our most underutilized photo locations.

2. John Gray Pond

The duck pond at the John Gray Center may be an extremely popular choice, but for good reason. This lounge location makes for a striking backdrop with its bright blue water and floral landscaping. It may not be obscure, but some spots are classic for a reason.

1. The Quad

Just a year old, the newly restructured Quad has plenty of spaces to choose from. Take some classic photos under the trees or show your school spirit posing in front of Mirabeau.
