About

Since the 1950s, Northrup Hall has served as the administrative nexus of Trinity’s campus. The original Northrup was the first O’Neil Ford designed building on campus and the first major building in the United States to be built using the innovative “lift-slab” technique. 

The new Northrup was completed in 2004 and constructed on the site of the original building. Northrup is located at the center of Upper Campus just north of the Coates Student Center and in front of Miller Fountain.
