Duke University Academic Quads

The Davison Building was designed to open onto the university’s academic quad. Forming the heart of the historic West Campus of Duke University residential community, Craven and Crowell Quads are as synonymous with Duke’s classic Gothic architecture as the Chapel itself.

Home to approximately 395 sophomores, juniors, and seniors, Craven Quad was originally built in the 1930s and renovated in 2019.

Durham Architecture

Visited Durham, North Carolina, to capture the architecture of Duke University and the surrounding areas.

Our first stop was at Duke Cancer Center. The architecture reflects the collegiate Gothic style of the Duke campus, while ample natural light and arched wood accents, echoing the Carolina pines, harmonize with the surrounding environment.
