Columbia, CUNY - City College and Brooklyn College have more traditional Gothic style buildings but in the city, only Columbia can afford (w/ political muscle) to have a quad.
Did anybody felt that University of London and University of Greenwich are imperialist and elitist? They look like palaces.
no, i thought they just reflected the era in which they were built.

In Denver, I would have to say my favorite places for learning were my Junior High School, Lake Jr. High, and my High School, Denver West High! I shot these photos this past summer. This is my first posting, hope they are enjoyed.

Those schools in Denver are outrageous! Beautiful buildings...
Thanks Sprtsluvr, I will post more eventually as there are many more unique and completely different styles for all the public schools in Denver. Most constructed in the early 1900s.

You inspired me to post some Atlanta school buildings. There are a couple that are worthy of mention:
Washington High School (1922)
Roosevelt High School (1924), formerly Atlanta Girl's High

Wow, very intricate entry ways! Thank you for sharing. They just don't build them like they use to. I know I loved going to my schools because the architecture made me feel worthy of being in a select group. I was not brought up rich and these were public schools, but the history, detail and fictional stories made up over the years aided in my learning experience. Ghosts in the towers, spirits in the underground tunnels, knighting the student government members were common traditions past on in these places. Fun stuff!
I took this picture of St. Ignatius High School yesterday. I'm sure I could take many more pictures highlighting what i love about this building, but this overview is gonna have to do. The high school costs as much or more per year than the university i currently attend. I hope its worth it!
Loyola's Campus is dominated by Art Deco buildings, all of which are quite outstanding specimens. They just finished the chapel which is now completely sweet. The Library is another story, by far the most originally beautiful, it has been massacred by a series of additions and rennovations leaving only about 60% of the original outside of the building visible from the outside. I shall go get some pictures of these buildings soon.
Though my alma mater is Michigan State University, thanks for the pics DetroitSTAR, I think the Law Quad at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI is darn sweet!
