McMaster is on Google Street View

 
Via Matt Terry, Daily News

Potential students, curious community members, reminiscent alumni: people the world over can now tour McMaster University without leaving their homes, thanks to Google's Street View project.

The search engine company was on campus in the summer with a modified car and tricycle that it used to photograph McMaster's pathways for the project.

McMaster University can be found on Google maps here. Click street view to switch it to the Street View mode.

I don't think any Google Street View images are taken in the winter (besides, of course, areas that have snow year-round).
