===Grounds=== Bucknell's {{cvt|450|acre|ha|adj=on}} campus comprises more than 100 buildings located over a gentle rise adjacent to the [[West Branch Susquehanna River]]. The campus is divided into Lower Campus and Upper Campus by [[Miller Run]] and the Grove, a stand of oak trees that ascends the slope. Lower Campus consists primarily of student housing and the institution's sports facilities. Upper Campus mainly contains academic buildings. It offers views northwest across the Buffalo Valley toward [[Mount Nittany]] and southeast across the Susquehanna River toward Montour Ridge. Bucknell's campus forms a cohesive architectural ensemble due to the sustained use of brick and the recurrent themes of [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] style. The institution's first building, Taylor Hall, was constructed in 1848.<ref>[http://www.bucknell.edu/info-about-attending-bucknell/visit-bucknell/the-bucknell-campus.html "The Bucknell Campus"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113170115/http://www.bucknell.edu/info-about-attending-bucknell/visit-bucknell/the-bucknell-campus.html |date=2017-01-13 }} University website.

Its newest building, Holmes Hall, was inaugurated in 2021. {{Gallery |width=180 |height=180 |align=center |File:Bucknell University 2012 1.JPG | alt1=Spring on Malesardi Quadrangle |[[Malesardi Quadrangle]] |File:Rooke-Chapel.JPG| alt2=Rooke Chapel |[[Rooke Chapel]]|File:Vaughan Literature Building 2024.jpg | alt3=Vaughn Literature Building | Vaughan Literature Building| File:Coleman Hall February.jpg | alt4=Coleman Hall in winter | Coleman Hall in winter }}
