Over the years, the campus has built some of the most beautiful and recognizable views in the city. Watch the video above for an aerial tour of the campus and its best scenes.
The iconic dome and cross on the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception is the centerpiece of UD’s campus. The top of the cross is 95 feet above the ground. The cross is 7 feet, 4 inches tall from the ball to the top of the cross. The “arms” of the cross extend 4 feet, 6 inches.

The once-modest campus has now grown to include almost 400 acres. This land includes the purchase of more than 160 acres of former NCR property, which sparked the building of the GE Episcenter and Emerson Helix buildings.
UD has 38 academic, research, athletic and administrative buildings, five residence halls, 18 student apartment complexes and almost 500 residences. Total enrollment for 2018-19 is almost 11,000 students.
