On the wall



The campus
Harvard University is spread through the middle of Cambridge, Massachusetts, but its heart is Harvard Yard, a fenced enclosure of lawns, paths and brick buildings next to Harvard Square. From above, the Yard's tidy outline stands out against the irregular streets of old Cambridge, which bend and meet at odd angles all around it.
Founded in 1636, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. South of the Yard, the undergraduate houses line the Charles River with their courtyards and towers, and across the water in Allston sit the Business School, Harvard Stadium and a growing newer campus. The river bends here, and several bridges cross it close together.
A Harvard University map poster shows how the university grew out from the Yard in every direction: the law school and science buildings to the north, the river houses to the south, museums and libraries in between. The winding Charles and the dense streets of Cambridge give the print both movement and structure.

Undergraduate houses such as Eliot, Lowell and Winthrop stand close to the Charles, their courtyards forming a row of neat rectangles near the riverbank.
In Allston, the Business School and Harvard Stadium occupy open ground on the far bank, reached by footbridges and road bridges over the river.

Why Harvard University
A Harvard map is a record of specific paths: from dorm to Yard, from the Square to the river. For graduates, parents and visitors alike, it turns a famous name into a real place drawn with precision.
Personalise the title with a name, house or class year, edit the subtitle and coordinates, and choose one of five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Printed posters are available with an optional wooden frame.
