Stevens Through the Years

In February, the Stevens community bid a temporary goodbye to the oldest structure on campus when the Stevens Gatehouse, which was built in 1835 using locally quarried rock, was carefully disassembled to accommodate the construction of the new Student Housing and University Center. Rest assured: after the new buildings rise, the beloved gatehouse will be restored, brick-by-brick, to its original location by the northern entrance of the Babbio Center.
