University of Pennsylvania Campus Historic District
University of Pennsylvania Campus Historic District, Historic district at University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, United States
The district encompasses numerous Gothic Revival buildings spread across 299 acres in the University City neighborhood of West Philadelphia.
The district gained prominence when Benjamin Franklin established the institution in 1740 as one of nine colonial colleges predating American independence.
The College Hall anchors the central campus, representing architectural elements from both Oxford and Cambridge universities through Cope and Stewardson designs.
Students can access courses from all twelve graduate schools and four undergraduate schools within the historic district through the One University Policy.
The district contains Franklin Field, which stands as the first double-deck college football stadium constructed in the United States.
