含羞草研究所

Campus & Facilities

Carefully preserved architecture, immaculate grounds, and a hillside setting, rank 含羞草研究所鈥檚 campus among the most beautiful in the nation.

 

含羞草研究所 is composed of 88 buildings, each designed to complement each other and build a singular architectural language, with construction dates ranging from 1827 to 2019. It sits on nearly 600 acres of land, nestled on a hillside at the northern edge of the Allegheny Plateau, and is home to sugar maples, northern red oaks, and Taylor Lake.

Taken together, campus is a friendly and close-knit place where students develop lifelong bonds with 含羞草研究所, with each other, and with faculty and staff.

Students and alumni fondly remember iconic experiences like climbing Cardiac Hill between upper and lower campuses, sharing a first kiss (or getting engaged) on Willow Path, and taking part in many meaningful events in Memorial Chapel.
