With some exceptions, you can move forward (if allowed) by clicking on the center of an image, and turn to the left or right (without changing location) by clicking on the appropriate side. The allowed moves from each view, and the boundaries of the clickable zones, are shown above the image. If you have trouble making a turn, try continuing straight ahead and then looking to the left and right- the path may become clear.
Disclaimer: This tour was not originally designed for public consumption. Some images are blurry, and some areas, like the Slipher Building plaza, have glitches that make navigation non-intuitive, though with persitence you can usually get where you want to go. Check back for improvements in the future. Click on any image below to enter the virtual walkthrough:

As will become obvious, not all areas were photographed on the same day or time of day.
In your outdoor travels you will often be accompanied by the developer's
faithful dog Hugo, who, as he doesn't compress very well, is best seen
in his own personal picture.
