Student-drawn Map of Campus

Cornell’s physical campus has changed slowly over the past 160 years, but those changes add up to a dramatic difference. From just a handful of buildings at the turn of the 20th century, Cornell now has 129 acres and dozens of buildings. Though it has expanded, those historic buildings remain in use, which is one of the reasons it was the first campus to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
