Yale University
New Haven, Conn.
From a purely architectural standpoint, "Yale University has more show-stoppers than all the campuses on the list," says architect Shivers, even if the mix is less cohesive than others in the League, like Princeton and Harvard. Some of these more iconic buildings include Ingalls Rink by Eero Saarinen, the Art and Architecture Building by Paul Rudolph, and Louis Kahn's Art Gallery and British Art Center. Many other Gothic and Colonial Revival structures have delightful quirks and surprises.

Landscaped spaces--quadrangles, courtyards between buildings, plazas--abound, offering lots of "getaways" for a decidedly urban campus.

純粹從建筑學角度來考量，“耶魯大學與這份名單上的其它全部學校相比，都擁有更多值得駐足觀看的地方，”建造師Shivers這樣說道，盡管耶魯校園的整體性較其他常春藤聯校還是要略遜一籌，比如普林斯頓大學和哈佛大學。它的標志性建筑包括Eero Saarinen設計的英格斯溜冰場(Ingalls Rink)，Paul Rudolph設計的藝術與建筑大樓，以及Louis Kahn設計的藝術畫廊和英國藝術中心。此外，林林總總哥特式和殖民復興風格（Colonial Revival）的建筑都帶有一種頗為討喜的怪誕感，令人嘖嘖稱奇。所有地面景致，包括分布在各個角落的四合院、樓與樓之間的庭院，和廣場，為這座城市校園提供了頗多“逍遙游”場所。
