Buildings

The plan for the Druid Hills campus was the work of Henry Hornbostel (1867-1961), who also designed the original buildings. A native of Brooklyn and a graduate of Columbia who also studied in Europe, Hornbostel was the first professor of architecture (1905) at Carnegie Institute of Technology, for the design of whose buildings he had won the competition. His are not the only buildings of merit on Emory’s campus. Others, built later, are the work of architects such as the New York library specialist Edward Tilton, the firms of Ivey & Crook and Hentz-Adler-Schutze, and more recently Paul Rudolph, (1983H), John C. Portman, (1974H), and Michael Graves.  Adam Gross, of the architectural firm Ayers/Saint/Gross, has continued to work with the University since 1997, to bring to the campus a sense of cohesiveness in design of architecture and landscape, mindful of the original Hornbostel plan.
