Northrop Mall is made up of three grassy squares and the plaza area in front of Northrop Auditorium. It is surrounded by some of the major buildings on campus and is the center of the Twin Cities campus. Many events are held in the mall, such as the Institute of Technology's job fair.
The northern end of Northrop Mall is Northrop Plaza, bounded by Johnston
Hall, Northrop Auditorium, and Morrill Hall.
