There’s a big break time between 12 -2:15 for free exploration. It would depend on how long your S wanted to look at the science facilities. There’s LOT to look at. For us since we took all of Saturday afternoon, we were pretty leisurely. D wanted to see every single science building and floor that was accessible, so that’s what we did. If we had less time… we would have had to plan. We couldn’t have seen nearly as much. There are a LOT of science buildings, depts, labs.
If there were some specific depts your son wanted to see, then you could plan ahead, and just go to those buildings. The 12-2:15 time period includes lunch. The lunch time offers a chance to meet with current students in the same program, and my D found that to be very informative too. Probably your best bet is to arrive at the earliest possible check in time in the morning, maybe you would be able to squeeze in some extra free time before the college talk which starts at 10. You also might want time to buy tee shirts too.

It would be awesome if our kids would be classmates! NU is a contender for my D for sure.

I will answer separately, and a little later about the lab facilities and research.
