In the middle of a dry barren desert 114 years ago, a patch of ground was broken - a patch that would eventually become the University of Arizona. What once was a small piece of earth is now one of the largest economic factors in Tucson, and home to some of the most beautiful architecture in the desert Southwest.

It is impossible to walk through campus without seeing an example of Southwestern architecture. From stucco buildings to tile roofs to mission-style churches to desert-style landscapes, UA has it all.

What started with one building and blossomed into 175, the University of Arizona is - and always will be - right at home in the Southwest.

The Administration building is surrounded by desert landscape and contains the traditional red brick of the university.


Pima Residence Hall is the newest dorm on the university campus, having opened last year.
