An iconic look.
WashU’s Danforth Campus is a testament to Collegiate Gothic architecture. Designed by Cope & Stewardson in 1899, its red granite and limestone buildings boast pointed arches, intricate stonework, and soaring towers, evoking the grandeur of medieval universities, with Brookings Hall as a centerpiece. However, recent additions like the Sumers Welcome Center showcase a modern approach that complements the traditional aesthetic, reflecting WashU’s commitment to both its heritage and its future-oriented spirit.
