Get to know the University
The campus of the University combines the original 10-acre physical footprint of the University when it was re-established in Reno in the 1880s with a modern high-impact research university setting. The flow of the 290-acre campus starts with a historic precinct of built landscape features and late 19th and early 20th century buildings which were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, a mid-campus area characterized by fall/spring foliage areas and modern architecture, and a northern quadrant featuring the University's newest and most technologically advanced buildings.
