This is the home to Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Biology.
Osborne is the largest academic building on campus, but there are only six classrooms in the whole building. Most of the space is dedicated to instructional and research labs.
A three-story tall pendulum represents the three disciplines taught in this building. The mechanical engineering component is an array of magnets at the top that keep the pendulum continuously in motion. The physics aspect is in how the pendulum swings. The biology portion is represented in the whirlpool. It is set to spin at a resting human heart rate, but if you were to run a mile and put your hands on the metal sensors on the panel, the whirlpool would speed up to match your elevated heart rate.
