- Title:
- Welcome to Alspaugh, 1972
- Description:
- When Trinity College moved to Durham from Randolph County in 1892, seeking connection to an urban environment, it landed in what is now known as Duke’s East Campus. After Trinity College became Duke University, East Campus was redesigned by the Horace Trumbauer architectural firm, gaining its signature Georgian-style red brick buildings. In 1930, East Campus became the Woman’s College under Dean Alice M. Baldwin, training women in academic and societal leadership before merging with Duke’s Trinity College of Arts and Sciences in 1972. East Campus began housing first-year undergraduates in 1995, and that tradition continues today. East Campus is also home to multiple academic departments, including Music, History, and Cultural Anthropology.
