Old College comes to life

A new exhibition celebrates the oldest building on UD’s campus

A new exhibition traces the history of UD’s oldest building, from its Greek temple-inspired architecture to stories of shenanigans by early Blue Hen residents. “This building is a physical representation of our collective history,” said University architect Peter Krawchyk.

A collaboration of 65 Blue Hens from 10 departments have worked for four years to bring the exhibition to life.

Visitors are invited to learn about this rich history and cultural legacy of Old College through spring semester.
