Facts and practical information

The College Green of Ohio University is the university's central quadrangle lawn which saw the first academic buildings in the Northwest Territory. The green roughly sits aligned to the cardinal directions, with Manasseh Cutler Hall facing true north. The Green, at the heart of the Athens campus, is surrounded by administrative, academic, and library buildings. For most of the nineteenth and twentieth century, it saw small memorials and wartime monuments dedicated in remembrance of the people involved in those centuries' great conflicts. The green is the centerpiece of a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, encompassing the green, flanking buildings, and other nearby campus buildings. Cutler Hall, home of the President's office, and Wilson Hall, that of the College of Arts & Sciences, adorn the Green. ()
