A Visit to Union College in Schenectady, New York: Early May

I walked around the Union College Campus in mid November and shared this beautiful campus in my post on November 14, 2012.  The sky was clear, the grounds meticulously kept, as always.  The leafless trees did not detract from the campus' splendor.  Having walked these grounds many times over the years, I wanted to share Union College at different times of the year.

Union College is celebrating the history of its planned college campus.  Union is the first college campus in the United States built according to a master plan.  This is my springtime walking tour...









Grant Hall








The Chapel 














The Library











A secluded spot to
 sit quietly or read.








The Nott Memorial is the
focus of the campus.









F. W. Olin Center











The leafy trees shade
Messa House.













Lippman Hall 









The Gymnasium










The football field is 
surrounded by the track. 









Achilles Rink











The flowerbeds in the
Chester A. Arthur Courtyard
are ready for this year's plantings. 












The Gazebo is ready
for visitors.




My next visit will include Jackson's Garden.
