The architectural firm McKim, Mead & White designed the campus of which prestigious American university in the early 20th century?

WRONG! While Harvard has a historic and recognizable campus, its design evolved over centuries with contributions from various architects, not exclusively by McKim, Mead & White. This option could mislead those who associate the firm with Ivy League schools.

WRONG! Princeton’s campus features a mix of Collegiate Gothic architecture, much of which was designed by different firms over time. McKim, Mead & White were not primarily responsible for its design, but the association with elite universities could cause confusion.

 

CORRECT! McKim, Mead & White, a prominent architectural firm in the United States, designed the Morningside Heights campus of Columbia University, starting in the late 1890s. The neoclassical design, including iconic buildings like Low Memorial Library, was intended to reflect the academic grandeur and permanence of the institution.

WRONG! The University of Chicago’s campus was also designed in a Gothic style, inspired by English universities. It had contributions from architects like Henry Ives Cobb, but McKim, Mead & White were not the lead designers. The misleading option may attract guesses due to the school’s prominence and architectural significance.
