Woodburn Hall

Woodburn Hall is the most iconic building at WVU. It's one of the most popular photo-ops on campus and dates back to 1876. Woodburn is named after the Woodburn Female Seminary, a school located here when WVU was founded. Over the years, the building has housed nearly every academic department, but is now the hub for the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, the University's largest college. Take your photo in front of Woodburn on your first day of class, and when you graduate, take another in your cap and gown!
