Ah, then they should check out RIT! Established in 1829, but.... They built a whole new campus starting in 1964. It's like a brutalist dream 😂

How does that work?

What happened to the old campuses for Wake Forest and Colby? Did they build the new campuses from scratch? I assume it was cheaper to build a new campus than to renovate/expand the old campus? Or maybe there wasn't enough room to expand?

Here is the info on the WS campus from the Wake website: Wake Forest history dates back to 1834, when Wake Forest Manual Labor Institute was founded in Wake Forest, North Carolina. It was rechartered as Wake Forest College in 1838, making it one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in North Carolina.

In 1946, the school accepted an invitation from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to move 100 miles west to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Construction began in 1952, and the new campus opened its doors in 1956. Winston-Salem is the home of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, and much of Wake Forest’s main Reynolda Campus is comprised of land that was once the R.J. Reynolds estate, a gift from the late Charles and Mary Reynolds Babcock. The institution was designated Wake Forest University in 1967.
