Queens Campus, Rutgers University
Queens Campus, Rutgers University, Historic university district in New Brunswick, United States
Queens Campus stretches along one city block of Rutgers University, bordered by College Avenue, George Street, Hamilton Street, and Somerset Street.
The campus originated from a six-acre apple orchard donated by James Parker Jr in 1807, leading to the construction of Old Queens between 1809 and 1823.
The Daniel S. Schanck Observatory and Geology Hall demonstrate the campus commitment to scientific education through dedicated facilities and research collections.
The Old Queens building maintains its position as the administrative center of Rutgers University, housing the offices of the president and management team.
Alexander Hamilton positioned his artillery on this hilltop during the Revolutionary War, helping to delay British forces pursuing George Washington in 1776.
