In 1861, the first classes were held in a building where the Fairmont Olympic Hotel now stands. The original campus opened in 1861 on the edge of what was then the village of Seattle. Three decades later, Seattle was a city of about 50,000 and the University needed to be relocated so it could continue to expand. In 1895, a group of about 15 faculty and 35 students moved into Denny Hall on the current campus.

In 1997, UW Tacoma opened for class in several century old warehouses on the edge of downtown. The structures, which included a mattress factory, a grocery company and a power station, were rehabilitated and retrofitted for academic use. Thanks to the historic preservation, the site conjures up the early days of the "City of Destiny."

Central Park
Butchart Gardens

Golden Gate Park
Central Park
At the time, the Olmsted Brothers were the country’s leading landscape architecture firm. First, they designed the land that is now lower campus for the world's fair. Then in 1911, they returned to create a plan that integrated the upper campus with the old exposition grounds. One of their priorities was maximizing the view of Mount Rainier from campus.
