==Campuses== === River Campus === The '''River Campus''' is in a bend of the [[Genesee River]] about {{convert|2|mi|km|0}} south of downtown Rochester and covers around {{convert|200|acre}}. It is bounded by Bausch & Lomb Riverside Park, an {{convert|18|acre|adj=on}} public park along the east bank of the Genesee River formerly known as the [[Olmsted Brothers|Olmstead]] River Walk, and [[Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester|Mount Hope Cemetery]], where the grave sites of Susan B. Anthony and [[Frederick Douglass]] can be found. The River Campus was acquired in the late 1920s from the Oak Hill Country Club through a land swap deal orchestrated in part by Edwin Sage Hubbell and funded largely by George Eastman. After a period of landscaping, grading, and construction, the original buildings of the campus were dedicated in 1930 when the first class of River Campus was welcomed to the Men's college. The main academic buildings are examples of the [[Greek Revival architecture|Greek Revival]] style in 20th-century collegiate architecture. The main buildings situated upon the [[George Eastman|Eastman Quadrangle]] are [[Rush Rhees Library]] at the head, flanked by the Morey Hall, Bausch & Lomb Hall, Lattimore Hall, and Dewey Hall. The Rush Rhees Library, the unofficial symbol of the university, is also home to the [[List of carillons#Eastern United States|Hopeman Memorial Carillon]], the largest carillon in New York State, featuring 50 bells that chime on the quarter-hour.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sas.rochester.edu/mur/carillon/faq.html|title=FAQ : Hopeman Memorial Carillon: University of Rochester|website=www.sas.rochester.edu|access-date=February 11, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190218061328/http://www.sas.rochester.edu/mur/carillon/faq.html|archive-date=February 18, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Todd Union, constructed in 1930, has been recommended by New York State's Board for Historic Preservation to be added to the [[National Register of Historic Places|State and National Registers of Historic Places]] as "a key site associated with Rochester's LGBTQ+ history". Todd Union has an early and significant association with the University of Rochester's Gay Liberation Front (UR GLF), an organization that worked to advance the gay liberation movement on campus and in the city of Rochester in the 1970s.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Sara |date=March 20, 2023 |title=Todd Union earns historic designation |url=https://www.rochester.edu/newscenter/todd-union-state-national-registers-historic-places-553862/ |access-date=October 4, 2023 |website=News Center |language=en-US |archive-date=October 6, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231006024548/https://www.rochester.edu/newscenter/todd-union-state-national-registers-historic-places-553862/ |url-status=live }}</ref> River Campus is home to a number of student exhibition spaces. The AsIs Gallery in the Sage Art Center showcases rotating exhibitions of student works from studio classes at U of R.

Hartnett Gallery, in Wilson Commons, is a student-supported gallery that showcases international and professional contemporary artists as well as an annual juried student exhibition.
