University of Richmond ~ Minimalist

Established in 1830, UR is rich in history, beginning as a Baptist Seminary and becoming Richmond College in 1840.  During the Civil War, the entire student body formed a regiment and joined the Confederate Army while college buildings were used as a Confederate hospital and later as Union barracks.  In 1914 it moved from downtown Richmond to its present location.  Boasting an enrollment over 4,000, the Spiders compete in NCAA Division I athletics.

Our historic rendering features Boatwright Memorial Library (1955), a Collegiate Gothic building overlooking Westhampton Lake.  The library serves as a memorial to Frederic William Boatwright’s 68 years of service to the university.
