With a campus as unique as Arcadia's, it's sometimes hard to find just the right words to describe its most distinctive physical attributes. There's just so much personality to each individual building and residence hall that I could only think of one way to fully encompass each of the most prominent places on campus; with characters from "The Office!"
Academic Buildings
Brubaker Hall - Jim Halpert
Brubaker, traditionally the building for many of the business classes at Arcadia, has bright hallways and professors keep their offices open to students. Perhaps most notably, Brubaker is directly connected to Easton which is important because of Pam.
Easton Hall - Pam Beesly
Ah, yes. The unstoppable duo for office pranks and jokes. Maybe this would explain why the water feature behind Easton mysteriously fills up with bubbles every Halloween.
Taylor Hall - Angela Martin
Home to many of the
writing classes at Arcadia, Taylor Hall's classrooms are structured less lecture style and more traditional-school room style. Angela is quite traditional and conservative, so I think she would appreciate this orthodox fashion.
Boyer Hall of Science - Dwight Schrute
As all of the Biology, Psychology, and Chemistry majors know, Boyer is a darker building but it is filled with lab equipment that is perfect for top secret experiments. I'm sure Dwight would have a field day (and it's only a short walk from Taylor Hall).
Spruance Fine Art Center - Kelly Kapoor
Kelly certainly has a flair for the dramatic, and since Spruance houses a lovely theater for all of the drama and
musical productions every semester.
Murphy Hall - Ryan Howard
Located conveniently adjacent to Spruance, Murphy is the art and communications building that is infamous for kiln fires, and I'm sure we all remember who started the fire.

Landman Library - Karen Filipelli
Although she's not on the show too much, when she does make an appearance, Karen seems to be one of the only characters that has any idea what's going on. She's knowledgable and sometimes overlooked, just like the library, but still an asset to her environment.
Activity Centers
The Commons - Darryl Philbin
Easily the character with the most chill, Darryl wholeheartedly encompasses the relaxed atmosphere of the Commons. There's a game room, comfy couches, and The Chat provides some good snacks!
The Kuch Athletic and Recreation Center - Andy Bernard
No one is more packed with energy than Andy, and given the two gyms stuffed with workout equipment and an indoor track, I think Andy would fit in just right (as long as he's careful to tape down his nipples to prevent chafing, that is).
The Dining Complex - Kevin Malone
Kevin loves food and I'm sure he'd love to cook up a pot of his famous chili. Need I say more?
Blankley Alumni House - Jan Levinson
A tiny but sophisticated building located at one of the entrances to Arcadia. It gets a little crazy at times with the different club meetings that happen there, but just like Jan, no matter how crazy things get, things always manage to settle back in order.
The Sports Dome - David Wallace
You never really see it, but you always know that it's there... just like corporate.
Residence Halls
A little bit extra and extravagant, but it just wouldn't be Arcadia without Grey Towers Castle, just like the office of Dunder Mifflin Scranton wouldn't be the same without Michael Scott.
Knight Hall - Toby Flenderson
Toby puts up with a lot as the Human Resources manager, and Knight Hall not only houses students, but also runs Career Education and student tutoring services. Quite the multitasking.
Heinz Hall - Creed Bratton
Heinz is infamous for its ghostly occurrences (but you didn't hear that from me), and Creed definitely has gotten into some more, shall we say "suspicious" activities in his lifetime.
Dilworth Hall - Meredith Palmer
At least when I was a first year student, Dilworth was a bit more "party-oriented" than its surrounding residence halls, and I feel like Meredith knows how to party.
Thomas Hall - Oscar Martinez
Just like Oscar is stuck between Angela and Kevin in accounting, Thomas is smushed in between Dilworth and Kistler, and is such a good sport about it, too.
Kistler Hall - Phyllis Vance
As a former Kistler resident once told me, "It just has a Phyllis vibe!"
Bonus
Haber Green - Stanley Hudson
One of the most beloved spots on campus (even if its sprinklers do catch you by surprise), the Green is essential to Arcadia's student life just like Stanley's sass and sarcastic comments are essential to The Office.
