Founded in 1749 by Benjamin Franklin, and originally called the "Publick Academy of Philadelphia", the modern-day University of Pennsylvania has grown substantially, both academically and physically. The university now consists of three separate campuses: the West Philadelphia campus which sits on 302 acres and holds 216 buildings, the New Bolton Center built on 600 acres and housing 103 buildings, and the Morris Arboretum standing on 92 acres with 33 buildings.
