Cannon Green

The lawn between University Commons (Building 22) and the John C. Pace Library (Building 32) gets its name from the cannon at its northeast end. This grass-covered lawn is the perfect, blank slate for large, outdoor events and celebrations. A UWF student retrieved the cannon, now called Annin's Cannon, from the Pensacola Pass in the 1970s. It is an 18th-century, British, 32-pound garrison gun thought to have been part of a battery that guarded the entrance to Pensacola Bay.
