This part of the campus includes eight academic buildings on the <a href="/wiki/National_Register_of_Historic_Places" title="National Register of Historic Places">National Register of Historic Places</a>. The Downtown Campus comprises several architectural styles predominantly featuring red brick including Victorian Second Empire, Federal, Neoclassical, and Collegiate Gothic among others.

It is open to the public daily without charge.<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> The Arboretum's history began in 1948 when the university acquired its site. Professor Earl Lemley Core (1902–1984), chairman of the Biology Department, then convinced President Irvin Stewart to set the property aside for the study of biology and botany. In 1975 the Arboretum was named in Core's honor. The Arboretum is now managed by the WVU Department of Biology and consists of mostly old-growth forests on steep hillside and Monongahela River floodplain. It includes densely wooded areas with 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of walking trails, as well as 3 acres (12,000 m2) of lawn planted with specimen trees. The Arboretum has a variety of natural habitats in which several hundred species of native WV trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants may be found. Some of the large trees are likely over 200 years old.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Campus_safety">Campus safety</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=West_Virginia_University&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Campus safety">edit</a>]</div> The university created WVU Alert, a text-based alert system for quickly disseminating emergency situations to faculty, staff, and students.<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> WVU also uses LiveSafe, a smart phone application that enables users to anonymously report crimes or safety concerns, or to use the walk safe feature which allows the user to invite a friend to monitor their location while they walk.<a href="#cite_note-thedaonline.com-59">[59]</a> Additionally, there are 37, easily accessible, blue-lit towers housing emergency phones across the WVU campuses that automatically dial 911 in the event of an emergency.<a href="#cite_note-WVU_Police-60">[60]</a> The West Virginia University Police Department (UPD) is the largest campus police department in the state and the only campus law enforcement agency in the state accredited by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> The UPD has a sworn officer operations division, a central communication unit, a student cadet unit, investigations, K-9 teams and other support services.

The unique aspect that makes the system "personal" is that a rider specifies their destination when entering the system and, depending on the system load, the PRT can dispatch a car that will travel directly to that station. The PRT began operation in 1973, with U.S. President <a href="/wiki/Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon">Richard Nixon</a>'s daughter, Tricia, aboard one of five prototype cars for a demonstration ride.<a href="#cite_note-prt-62">[62]</a> The PRT handles 16,000 riders per day (as of 2005<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Virginia_University&action=edit">[update]</a>) and uses approximately 70 cars. The system has 8.7 miles (14.0 km) of guideway track and five stations: Walnut, Beechurst, Engineering, Towers, and Medical/Health Sciences. The vehicles are rubber-tired, but the cars have constant contact with a separate electrified rail. <a href="/wiki/Steam" title="Steam">Steam</a> heating keeps the elevated guideway free of snow and ice. Although most students use the PRT, this technology has not been replicated at other sites for various reasons, including the high cost of maintaining the heated track system in winter.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> The PRT cars are painted in school colors (blue with gold trim) and feature the university name and logo on the front. Inside, the seats are light beige <a href="/wiki/Fiberglass" title="Fiberglass">fiberglass</a> and the carpeting is blue. Each car has eight seats with an overall capacity of 20 people, including standing room.

The Firing of the Rifle is a tradition carried out by the Mountaineer Mascot to open several athletic events. The Mountaineer points the gun into the air with one arm and fires a blank shot from a custom rifle, a signal to the crowd to begin cheering at home football and basketball games. The Mountaineer also fires the rifle every time the team scores during football games. The Carpet Roll is a <a href="/wiki/West_Virginia_Mountaineers_men%27s_basketball" title="West Virginia Mountaineers men's basketball">WVU Men's Basketball</a> tradition. In 1955 Fred Schaus and Alex Mumford devised the idea of rolling out an elaborate gold and blue carpet for Mountaineer basketball players to use when taking the court for pre-game warm-ups. In addition, Mountaineer players warmed up with a special gold and blue basketball. The university continued this tradition until the late 1960s when it died out, but former Mountaineer player Gale Catlett reintroduced the carpet when he returned to West Virginia University in 1978 as head coach of the men's basketball team. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Popular_culture">Popular culture</h2>[<a
