At the beginning of South Carolina College, a basic ground plan was approved that resembled the Yale University dormitory design, which grouped suites into a single tenement, thus subdividing the students into socially cohesive groups. This plan was introduced into Rutledge and duplicated in DeSaussure, Pinckney, Elliott, Harper, and Legare colleges.

Both campuses employ a lot more of the Federal style of architecture associated with colonial times than the architecture influence of prebellum and antibellum Greek Revival architecture. Or in laymens terms, both campuses feel much older and established then others I have been to. I will agree that Om and UA's architecture are similar but that is probably because OM copied it


Greek Revival


Which is interestingly a synagogue, sorry OM people.


Federal style



another form of Federal style that most would say is Greek Revival
