Celebrating Carolina’s 225th

Original drawing with the 225 in blue to celebrate Carolina's birthday. Buildings represented included the Old Well, the Davie Poplar, Old East, Historic Playmakers Theatre, Wilson Library and the Bell Tower.

Illustration by Will Black, who graduated from Carolina in 2011 with degrees in fine art and history. Since 2017, Black has worked as an administrative support specialist in the College of Arts & Sciences’ Dean’s Office.  He is an avid traveler and lover of history, art and architecture, drawing from these passions in his tribute to Carolina’s 225th birthday. To celebrate the occasion, Black created a collage of the University’s most iconic structures and landscape features. (Can you identify them all?)
