You can see the Doppler Radar if you look close enough.

The building itself is situated on a tall hill. There's a weather station on the roof, as well as a meterologist's observation deck that gives one a good look around campus. There is also a weather studio in the basement of the main building. Their program airs on 4FSU during the school year on weekdays.

Named after James Jay Love, who was a businessman. He died the same year the building was completed.

Comments

  • The Tallahassee NWS Doppler Radar is located at the airport, not the Love Building. The white dome on the top of the Love Building tracks the sondes during weather balloon launches.
