Bloomsburg: A Living Legacy
Someone once said "its difficult to appreciate where you are unless you know where you've been." It is in that light that we offer the following pictures to demonstrate the growth and progress of Bloomsburg University over the years. Our history
The Campus of the Bloomsburg State Normal School in 1869.
Institute Hall (now Carver Hall) is on the left and the original dormitory on the right.
Map of the normal school campus in 1913. With the exception of Buckalew Place the entire campus was in a compact area that included the buildings, athletic fields and tennis courts, grove, and plenty of open space with wide, terraced lawns.
A 1958 presentation of the master plan for the Bloomsburg State Teachers college campus. The plan was followed with minor alterations, with the exception that the athletic facilities were moved to the upper campus after the land there was purchased.
The upper campus in 1974. Nelson Field House was completed in 1972
and Robert B. Redman Stadium two years later.
