Campus Grounds

Situated on 220 acres of woodland and fields, the Williamson campus is noted for its beauty. Frank Furness, one of the most highly acclaimed architects of the late 19th century, designed eleven of the college’s buildings. (Williamson boasts the largest collection of Furness buildings in the country and has received awards from historical societies for its upkeep of these buildings.)

In addition to faculty homes, athletic fields, woods, and streams, the campus boasts a variety of major buildings, including:
