The campus includes about 50 major building, many of which are based on a neo-Byzantine style developed by Ralph Adams Cram and characterized by red tile roofs, semicircular archways, and a special rose-hued brick.

Lovett Hall (1912)
Will Rice College (1912)
Mechanical Laboratory (1912)
Baker College (1912, 1914)
Physics Laboratory (1914)
Hanszen College (1916)
