The term Collegiate Gothic derives from Gothic Revival, an architectural style inspired by medieval Gothic architecture. When the founders of Duke University were deciding on the architectural style for the new campus, they visited many established universities, including the University of Chicago, Yale, and Princeton, and decided that a Collegiate Gothic campus within a North Carolina Piedmont forest would be ideal for Duke.

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.

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.
