[[Seymour Union]], also known as Seymour Hall, has three floors and a basement.  The second and third floors are entirely all-male [[residence hall]].  If the right doors and windows are open, sometimes [[marijuana]] smoke wafts down to the first floor.  On the first floor are three different eatery options.  Along the south side of the building is the [[Hard Knox Café]], known as The Caf, the buffet-style option, and the most well-used (if not the most popular) one on campus.  Just north of it is the [[Oak Room]], which is single-pass and has less variety but is often better quality.  Across the hall from the Caf is the [[Gizmo]], the snack bar/fast food sort of place, which is open all day and is a major gathering spot.  Next to it just outside the building is the [[Gizmo Patio]], which is very popular for [[drama|socializing]] and [[studying]] in warmer weather and [[smoking]] even in the winter.  The windowed hallway from the Caf and Gizmo past the Oak Room to the north side of the building is known as the [[Gallery]].  This is where [[tabling]] happens.  Often the school will bring traveling merchants in the Gallery to hawk their wares, most notably the [[poster sale]], the book fair, girl scouts with cookies, and most often a woman who sells clothes and woven items.

The Gallery ends and a new perpendicular hallway takes its place for the north side of the building.  The northeast corner of Seymour is taken up with [[Founders]], the main [[computer lab]].  It has mostly [[Windows]] computers (but a few [[Mac]]s), as well as a tricked-out laser printer.  It used to be open 23 ½ hours a day (closed from 5-5:30 AM for computer maintenance) but now open 7am to 2:30am, and may drop next year due to [[minimum wage]] rises, as there has to be a student worker in the lab at all times.  Across the hall from Founders is the [[Campus Life Office]], where [[Craig Southern]] (the housing guy) and [[Cindy Wickliffe]] (the campus events organization lady, and the sender of campuswide [[e-mail]]s that you're not supposed to respond to) work.  The building foyer on the north side also has [[change machine]]s and an [[ATM]].  The change machines are broken almost as often as not.  You will get used to it.  Be nice to the Gizmo people, because if you are they might give you change even though they're not supposed to.

Further west along the hall is the [[Carl Sandburg Study Lounge]], which is basically the only study lounge open 24 hours a day.  It is especially popular with [[international student]]s.  Next to that is the [[Publications Office]], where staff for ''[[The Knox Student]]'' and ''[[Catch]]'' work.  A hallway branches off to the west stairwell, which heads toward the [[mailroom]], and after that there is [[Ferris Lounge]] and the [[Lincoln Room]], which are sometimes used for meetings, a number of smaller rooms off a hallway, and [[Helmut Mayer]]'s office (Helmut is the Director of [[Dining Services]]).  The [[Loading Dock]] is on the west side of the building, and receives shipments for Dining Services.  The Dining Services office is accessible only from outside the building, just west of the Caf.
