In 1985, the 8,342 acres of land where EARTH University now resides was little more than a sprawling cattle pasture surrounded by miles of dense rainforest. Construction of EARTH’s central campus (library, classrooms, covered walkways and offices) began in 1989 and was finished just in time to welcome the first class of students in March of 1990.
Today, our campus is a bonafide tropical paradise, covered with trees and colorful flowers and home to hundreds of species of animals. Throughout the years, additional laboratories, residences and other infrastructure have been added to accommodate our growing community.
Some areas of campus look almost exactly the same as they did when they were built 25 years ago, like this plaza located next to Academic Building 2.
