校园及设施

以布朗大学的建筑为例，它那占地142英亩的校园里就矗立着许多体现古典建筑风格的楼房。譬如，建于1771年的"大学楼"（University Hall）是全美仅存的建于独立战争前的七幢大学教学楼之一，典型的反映了英国乔治王时代的建筑艺术。布朗大学的第二幢大楼--"希望学院楼"（Hope College），建于1822年，其风格糅合了英国人的皇家建筑式样和美国共和主义思想。

Brown’s campus can be exemplified by its architectures, many of which are in the manner of something classical, for example, University Hall, built in 1771, is one of the seven school buildings erected before the independence war in the United States, a typical reflection of the architectural art of British Georgian era. And another one, Hope College, built in 1822, had its British royal style combined with American republicanism.
