Where it all began
COLLEGE GREEN: Hallowed ground whose brick pathways, towering trees and very soil cradle the history of Ohio University, Athens and a trailblazing nation. Whether teaching or studying on the Athens Campus, a regional or extension campus, or through the University’s growing online learning programs, all OHIO stories trace back to this small square of land where it all began.

Ohio University graduate student Akbar Sultanov has created an immersive 360-degree experience of OHIO’s historic College Green. Here, you can walk the brick pathways, hear the sounds, and visit and learn some of the history behind the most historic and cherished buildings and landmarks at the heart of the Athens Campus. And, come home to OHIO virtually through a feature that allows you to download a photo of yourself on College Green.
OHIO: Sense of Place
On July 30, more than 50 people took part in University Advancement’s first “OHIO: Sense of Place” virtual experience, designed to showcase various physical spaces at the University while connecting Bobcats to one another and our shared history. The first installment of this series spotlighted OHIO’s College Green and featured this video highlighting the history and importance of this beloved place.
