===Pembroke campus=== [[File:Brown University Pembroke campus.jpg|thumb|Three dormitories, Metcalf Hall (1919), Andrews Hall (1947), and Miller Hall (1910), formed the heart of Pembroke College and now serve as freshman residences.]] The [[Pembroke College in Brown University|Women's College in Brown University]], known as Pembroke College, was founded in October 1891. Upon its 1971 merger with the College of Brown University, Pembroke's campus was absorbed into the larger Brown campus. The Pembroke campus is bordered by Meeting, Brown, Bowen, and Thayer Streets and sits three blocks north of Brown's central campus. The campus is dominated by brick architecture, largely of the [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] and [[Victorian architecture|Victorian styles]]. The west side of the quadrangle comprises Pembroke Hall (1897), Smith-Buonanno Hall (1907), and Metcalf Hall (1919), while the east side comprises Alumnae Hall (1927) and Miller Hall (1910). The quadrangle culminates on the north with Andrews Hall (1947). East Campus, centered on Hope and Charlesfield streets, originally served as the campus of [[Bryant University]]. In 1969, as Bryant was preparing to relocate to [[Smithfield, Rhode Island]], Brown purchased their Providence campus for $5 million. The transaction expanded the Brown campus by {{cvt|10|acre|m2}} and 26 buildings. In 1971, Brown renamed the area East Campus.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wrenn |first=John |date=2021-03-18 |title=Wrenn GS: College Hill's Grim Reaper |url=https://www.browndailyherald.com/2021/03/18/wrenn-gs-college-hills-grim-reaper/ |access-date=2021-04-07 |website=Brown Daily Herald |language=en-US |archive-date=March 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210318061020/https://www.browndailyherald.com/2021/03/18/wrenn-gs-college-hills-grim-reaper/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Today, the area is largely used for dormitories. [[Thayer Street]] runs through Brown's main campus. As a commercial corridor frequented by students, Thayer is comparable to [[Harvard Square]] or Berkeley's [[Telegraph Avenue]]. [[Wickenden Street]], in the adjacent [[Fox Point, Providence, Rhode Island|Fox Point]] neighborhood, is another commercial street similarly popular among students. Built in 1925, [[Brown Stadium]]—the home of the school's football team—is located approximately a mile and a half northeast of the university's central campus.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Geh |first1=Victoria |last2=Li |first2=Evan |last3=Puma |first3=Patrick |last4=Du |first4=Hong Sen |title=The 'inescapable' effect of off-campus athletics: How the distance to Baker has shaped Columbia's recruiting, performance, and sports culture |url=http://columbiaspectator.com/sports/2020/12/09/the-inescapable-effect-of-off-campus-athletics-how-the-distance-to-baker-has-shaped-columbias-recruiting-performance-and-sports-culture/ |access-date=2021-04-07 |website=Columbia Daily Spectator |archive-date=June 20, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210620212336/https://www.columbiaspectator.com/sports/2020/12/09/the-inescapable-effect-of-off-campus-athletics-how-the-distance-to-baker-has-shaped-columbias-recruiting-performance-and-sports-culture/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Marston Boathouse, the home of Brown's crew teams, lies on the [[Seekonk River]], to the southeast of campus. Brown's sailing teams are based out of the Ted Turner Sailing Pavilion at the [[Edgewood Yacht Club]] in adjacent [[Cranston, Rhode Island|Cranston]]. Since 2011, Brown's Warren Alpert Medical School has been located in Providence's historic [[Jewelry District (Providence)|Jewelry District]], near the medical campus of Brown's teaching hospitals, [[Rhode Island Hospital]] and the [[Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island|Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island]]. Other university facilities, including [[molecular medicine]] labs and administrative offices, are likewise located in the area.<ref>{{cite news |author=Elizabeth Abbott |date=December 13, 2011 |title=Providence Puts Focus on Making a Home for Knowledge |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/14/realestate/commercial/providence-makes-itself-a-home-for-knowledge.html?_r=1 |url-status=live |access-date=12 June 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240526010114/https://www.webcitation.org/68NBrLu7S?url=http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/14/realestate/commercial/providence-makes-itself-a-home-for-knowledge.html%3F_r=2 |archive-date=2024-05-26}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bai |first=Corrine |date=2019-01-30 |title=South Street Landing move improves staff experience |url=https://www.browndailyherald.com/2019/01/30/move-south-street-landing-improves-staff-experience/ |access-date=2021-04-07 |website=Brown Daily Herald |language=en-US |archive-date=April 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210410183846/https://www.browndailyherald.com/2019/01/30/move-south-street-landing-improves-staff-experience/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Brown's [[Brown University School of Public Health|School of Public Health]] occupies a landmark modernist building along the [[Providence River]]. Other Brown properties include the {{cvt|376|acre|km2|adj=on}} [[Mount Hope (Rhode Island)|Mount Hope Grant]] in Bristol, Rhode Island, an important Native American site noted as a location of [[King Philip's War]]. Brown's [[Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology]] Collection Research Center, particularly strong in Native American items, is located in the Mount Hope Grant.
