Fairfield, Iowa...anything left of Parsons College campus? (how much, dorms)

[Hartwick]

Attended Parsons College in the late-'60's for a few years. I'm aware that it went out of business and was later acquired by Maharishi University which has modernized and expanded the old Parsons College campus.

However, is there anything left of the original Parsons College campus? Any quad dorms, the fieldhouse, the dorms in the back campus area? Any pictures available of the current campus?( the Maharishi University website does not show much of the current campus).

Thanks.

I think the dirt under the grass is still the same, at least once you get down a couple of feet.

Seriously, the old buildings have mostly been replaced; there was a huge flap a few years ago when the "Gurus" tore down a couple of the more historically significant Parsons buildings because they didn't comply with Vedic arcitechture.

The campus is only a couple of blocks off of my daily commute, one of these days I'll swing by to see if any of the old buildings are still there and let you know here.

Have you tried Google Maps with its satellite images?

I finally remembered to look as I drove by the other day, there is one building that looks like it might be part of the original campus, other than that it's all Vedic.
