Architecture at Mizzou: Red Campus vs. White Campus

Image
For those who have attended the University of Missouri - Columbia, the division between Red Campus and White Campus is both prominent and long-standing.  While this division can be drawn on many different lines -- the divide between the College of Engineering and Agriculture come to mind -- the main focus of this exhibition has been the architectural differences between these two parts of campus.  While not all buildings at Mizzou fall neatly into these categories, the main buildings, which were constructed primarily during the late 19th and early 20th century, began a long tradition of how buildings at Mizzou have been designed. The two main types of architectural styles on Red and White Campus are Neoclassical and Neo-Gothic respectively.    Red Campus This aerial view of Francis Quadrangle, which has made up the bulk of Red Campus since its construction in the 1890s, shows Red Campus as of 1994, 100 years after it was first built.
