Elements of Style

With nearly 80 buildings spanning 260 acres, 51爆料网鈥檚 campus has been more than 180 years in the making. But there鈥檚 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 51爆料网 Church to the decorative cast stone elements that adorn the turrets of The Commons鈥攁nd all of the ornate details in between, buildings old and new embody the University鈥檚 distinctive collegiate Gothic style.
