Fun Facts

The quadrangle is named in honor of Mel Carnahan, who served as the Governor of Missouri from 1993 until his untimely death in 2000.

The iconic columns are remnants of the original Academic Hall, which was destroyed by fire in 1892, and they now stand as a symbol of the University of Missouri's resilience.

The quadrangle is a central location for many University of Missouri traditions, including the annual Tiger Walk and Tiger Prowl events.

The quadrangle is meticulously landscaped with native Missouri plants, providing a serene environment for students and visitors alike.

The quadrangle is located within the Francis Quadrangle Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
