Campus Tours: Please see our new listing of all available campus tours, available in two formats: html and pdf. Student-led tours of campus depart from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 355 South Holliston Avenue (building 94 on the campus map) every weekday. For more information, phone 626.395.6341. No tours are conducted on Institute and some national holidays, or during winter break; a printed self-guided tour booklet is available at those times. (You may also download the self-guided tour pamphlet; you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it.) The Visitors Center staff also coordinates special tours of the campus for VIPs or large groups (who are not prospective students); tours of the Seismology Laboratory; and campus architectural tours. Architectural tours are conducted on the fourth Thursday of each month from September to June. (The November tour takes place on the third Thursday; there is no tour in December.) Tours leave at 11 a.m. from the front hall of the Athenaeum, 551 South Hill Avenue, and last approximately ninety minutes. They are led by members of the Caltech Architectural Tour Service, a special service of the Caltech Women's Club. For further information or reservations, contact Susan Lee at 626.395.6327.

The
Visitors Center was established as a central campus location where
people could be introduced and welcomed to the Institute. The center
is housed in the first floor "living room" of the Office of Public
Relations, at 315 South Hill Avenue, Pasadena. It provides campus
maps, directions, and general information about the Institute, and
maintains a collection of informative publications, among them the
Caltech Catalog, visitors brochure, Engineering &
Science alumni magazine, Annual Report, and undergraduate
yearbook.
