This beautifully illustrated book offers a chronological visual record of the buildings at Stellenbosch University (SU) since the opening of the Ou Hoofgebou (Old Main Building) in 1886. It also includes the other four campuses that came later, and looks ahead to the completion of formidable new construction projects by 2023. The architecture of the buildings featured in the book reflects the style of the period of construction, and seamlessly joins up with the rich history of Stellenbosch.
