Adelphi University Location
Adelphi University is a private, nonsectarian university located in Garden City, in Nassau County, New York. A nationally accredited school, it is the oldest institution of higher learning on Long Island. In 2005 and 2006, the Princeton Review listed Adelphi as one of the Northeast’s best universities. Adelphi University began with the Adelphi Academy, founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1863.
In 1912, Adelphi became a college devoted exclusively to the education of women. In 1922, the school raised over one million dollars to expand the overcrowded facilities in Brooklyn. In 1925, Adelphi College severed its ties with the Adelphi Academy. In 1929, the college moved from its founding location in Brooklyn to the current location of its main campus in Garden City, New York. The original three buildings of the Garden City campus, Levermore Hall, Blodgett Hall, and Woodruff Hall, were designed by the famed architectural firm McKim, Mead and White.
