Clemson's History Throughout the Campus
Clemson's military and agricultural history can be found all over its campus however, is rarely noticed by the university's students and employees. Clemson's history can be found anywhere from architectural detail and the statues throughout the campus to names of buildings and well known landmarks.
Landmarks
Clemson's most well-known building is Tillman Hall. The history that this building holds allows many to look at it and associate it with Clemson University.

Names of Buildings
To many, the names of Clemson's buildings are simply a means of knowing where to go. However, these names have a history behind them on Clemson's campus. All academic buildings are named after professors who have contributed greatly to Clemson's academic program. Residential buildings are named after Clemson's trustees throughout its history.
