campus landmarks

College site features

Campus landmarks are recognizable features of a college or university grounds that serve as reference points or gathering places—a clock tower, historic building, distinctive statue, or prominent tree.

Students give directions by them, meet friends near them, and photograph them at graduation.

They often carry institutional symbolism and appear in alumni memories: We always met at the fountain between classes.
