The History of the Podium

The Brock Podium is the outdoor rooftop space that surrounds the third floor of the Arthur Schmon Tower. Originally intended as the venue for convocation between 1967 and 1972, the plans were later moved indoors to the new gymnasium built in 1973. Though the Podium was envisioned as an event space and parking area, these plans were never fully realized.

With the Skyline Celebration, Brock has finally brought this vision to life.
