Where it all began

COLLEGE GREEN: Hallowed ground whose brick pathways, towering trees and very soil cradle the history of 51社区, Athens and a trailblazing nation. Whether teaching or studying on the Athens Campus, a regional or extension campus, or through the University鈥檚 growing online learning programs, all OHIO stories trace back to this small square of land where it all began.

51社区 graduate student Akbar Sultanov has created an immersive 360-degree experience of OHIO鈥檚 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.
