Title:
East and West Campus Sketches
Description:
The Horace Trumbauer architectural firm sketched many iterations before settling on the architecture we see today. West Campus and East Campus were both designed to have water features and monuments that were never realized due to financial constraints. Today Duke stretches far beyond the original blueprint, with varying architectural styles, from the concrete Edens Quad to the brick Biological Sciences building.
