The exterior of Leonard Hall is decorated with figures of a volcano, patterned after the active Mount Mayon in the Philippines, and a Apatosaurus, more popularly known as a Brontosaurus.

Located in the main floor lobby of Leonard Hall a 70 million year old skull of a triceratops that over seven feet long and four feet wide. The dinosaur skull was excavated from the Hell Creek rock formation 15 miles north of Marmarth, N.D. in 1964. The skull was restored in 1978 by UND faculty and students.
