Woodburn Hall
Woodburn Hall is without a doubt WVU's favorite building! It is second only to the state capital building for the most photographed building in the state of West Virginia and therefore serves as one of the most iconic photo-ops on campus. Woodburn Hall dates back to 1876 and is named after the Woodburn Female Seminary, a school located here when WVU was founded. Over the years, Woodburn has housed nearly every academic department, but is now the hub for our Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, the university's largest college.

💛 Traditions
Since our founding in 1867, West Virginia University has grounded itself as an institution that cares deeply about the preservation of tradition. The heart of WVU truly lies in the people themselves, both within our campus and the communities in which we reside. The pride we share in our state drives us to work harder to best serve our institution, our community, and the greater state of WV.
Woodburn Photo
Students often take their photo in front of Woodburn Hall either on their tour or their first day of classes. Then, during their final year, they'll take graduation photos in front of Woodburn as well! Don't miss out on this sentimental tradition! Snap a pic and be sure to use #visitwvu when you post!
