Founded in 1890, WSU’s flagship campus is located in Pullman, Washington. A land-grant university, WSU is one of
just 108 US universities to be ranked as a Tier 1 research university and known for its programs in chemical
engineering, business, architecture, communications, pharmacy, neuroscience, veterinary medicine, agriculture,
food science and plant sciences.
Most campus buildings are red brick and can be characterized as utilitarian. The most dramatic campus building is the recently named Terrell Library with its curving sweep of windows and a cone-shaped skylight above its atrium. Terrell Library was built in the shape of a piano, and a piano remains centered below the skylight to highlight this unique architectural design. It opened in 1994. Another dramatic structure is the Samuel H. Smith Center for Undergraduate Education, opened in 2002 and named for WSU's president from 1985–2000.
The heart of campus is the Glenn Terrell Friendship Mall, referred to as "the mall" by students. This walkway was named after Glenn Terrell, who was WSU's president from 1967 to 1985. President Terrell's secretary was known to set meetings 10 minutes behind schedule to make up for the time he would spend talking to students along the way. The library, student union, and a number of classroom buildings surround the Mall.
