Reflected in the glass of Bunche Hall's north side is a Canary Island pine, by far the most numerous of the types of trees planted on campus. Because of its lofty, columnar shape, Dollase says, the tree is often used to extend and soften the abrupt lawn or sidewalk-to-wall transitions around the tallest campus buildings.
