\"unnamed\"<\/a>From the gorgeous pillars of the Lyceum to the impressive structure that is the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts, Ole Miss is home to some of the most impressive architecture in the region.<\/p>\n

When the university was being built\u00a0from 1844 to 1848, several of the original antebellum buildings were influenced by Greek design. The Lyceum falls into that category and has become the icon of our university.<\/p>\n

However, most of the buildings at the university are Georgian, which was used often in the 19th\u00a0century.<\/p>\n

At Ole Miss, we have so many buildings to be proud of. The beauty of Paris-Yates Chapel and its bell tower draws in numerous weddings each year. At Bryant Hall, the renovations, rotunda and stained glass are awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n

And driving past the Robert C. Khayat Law Center and looking at the gorgeous, brand-new building is enough to make anyone want to enroll in law school.<\/p>\n

These buildings are gorgeous examples of fine architecture and give us at Ole Miss something else to be proud of, and for that we are thankful.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
