Our campus

Great things come in small packages.

Spread across 130 scenic acres, Union College's historic campus showcases American collegiate architecture at its finest. Joseph Ramée's revolutionary 1813 master plan set the stage for campuses nationwide and is emblematic of an unflagging commitment to progress.
