Georgian-Colonial Architecture

This classic design, often cited among the most beautiful college campuses in the nation, showcases Samford’s commitment to tradition, craftsmanship and aesthetic excellence.

Focus on Sustainability

Samford University has achieved LEED certifications for two on-campus buildings: its Campus Recreation, Wellness & Athletics Complex at Seibert Hall and the new student housing complex, Gaston and Mann Halls. This achievement highlights a commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. This effort aligns with Samford’s broader sustainability initiatives, including designation as a “Tree Campus Higher Education” by the Arbor Day Foundation and partnering with Homewood on its Green Skies Initiative. In addition, a major component in Samford’s $30 million infrastructure modernization project with Johnson Controls includes a new chilled water plant that consumes 40% less energy.
