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!

💛 Traditions
Since our founding in 1867, West Virginia University has grounded itself as an institution that cares deeply about the preservation of tradition. The heart of WVU lies in the people themselves, both within our campus and the communities in which we reside. The pride we share in our state drives us to work harder to best serve our institution, our community, and the state of West Virginia.
