You should really include some of the historic buildings at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. The campus blends in with the entire history of downtown Charleston, and it is incredibly beautiful. Specifically I can think of the old buildings which house all of the professors’ offices, and just the variety of things this campus holds. (Not to mention all of the movies and TV shows that have been shot down there!)

In addition to the Geisel library (previously mentioned) UCSD houses the Stuart Collection [linked]. My favorite were always the Sun God and Trees (especially at night in the fog). And yes, I admit some alma mater bias,as well.

Although not nearly as neat-looking as some of the buildings on this list, La Salle University in Philadelphia, PA has the oldest used building on a college campus in America. The president’s house and offices are located in the Peale house, once owned by Charles Wilson Peale, the famous American painter (he did all the Revolutionary War portraits). In fact, a good portion of La Salle’s campus is on what was once the Peale farm.

But like the Pitt alum above, I’m sort of biased, seeing as I attend La Salle.

I know this isn’t quite a landmark but the statue of 3 lies at Harvard is kind of cool to check out the story behind it. It’d make for a great post.

Let’s not forget the Langson Library at UC Irvine (photo linked). The whole campus is full of weird architecture – enough that the social science tower was featured in the original Planet of the Apes!

zot!

UCSD Geisel (Central) Library. Now that is a landmark!

I just looked up Gammage on Google Maps again and noticed there is a building just one block north of it that appears to have a smiley face on its roof.
