Elements of Style

With nearly 80 buildings spanning 260 acres, ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥â€™s campus has been more than 180 years in the making. But there’s a timeless architectural charm and painstaking attention to detail that seamlessly ties it all together. From the towering twin spires of the St. Thomas of ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ Church to the decorative cast stone elements that adorn the turrets of The Commons—and all of the ornate details in between, buildings old and new embody the University’s distinctive collegiate Gothic style.
