Central Quad is located amidst a number of academic and residence halls. The quad is also home to one of Miami's famous traditions, the Sundial turtles.

Just behind Warfield and MacMillan Halls in Central Quad, you’ll find the Tri Delt Sundial, a gift from Delta Delta Delta sorority. It is said that rubbing one of the heads of the copper turtles is good luck, and if done so before an exam, legend says you will receive an “A.”
