As Yale University expanded and acquired property along Prospect Street in New Haven, it became possible to design new campus quadrangles. The buildings of the Yale Divinity School were constructed in 1931 and designed by the architectural firm of Delano & Aldrich of New York. While based on Thomas Jefferson‘s plan for the University of Virginia, the Yale Divinity School quadrangle has much harder lines and sharper angles.
