TOUR UC's NEW CAMPUS by Deborah Rieselman

WANT TO SEE what all the "master plan" commotion is about? What are signature-architect buildings? Why are they attracting international attention? What does the University of Cincinnati's Campus Master Plan actually look like?

It's all just a click away. From the list below, select which of the four campuses you would like to visit. Then, on the next page, click on the name of a building that interests you -- or take the complete tour.

Although a quick tour through words and pictures may not be as good as a physical stroll, campus parking certainly won't be a problem. Then, maybe afterward, you'll be intrigued enough to plan a real visit to UC.
