Some buildings have a loading dock, but not all, and some buildings are residential buildings for students, some are classroom buildings, some are performance buildings (several of those). Museums, libraries, admin buildings, IT buildings, library annexes, media restoration and digital preservation. Oh, and restaurants, stores, and a few businesses that lease space on the campus...

Not all of those buildings have docks, nor is there room for every building to have a dock on a campus that has grown for almost 200 years.

Some of these buildings are over 100 years old and you cannot even drive a car to anymore. The campus has been and remains very bike friendly, so getting around in an even large cargo bike is pretty easy.

Fastest fast food delivery on campus is by bicycle.
