The Idaho Historic Sites Review Board has voted unanimously to advance the historic district nomination of the University of Idaho’s Moscow campus to the National Park Service.

“This nomination recognizes the unique character of our campus and the generations of people who have helped shape it,” U of I President Scott Green said.

If approved by the Park Service, the designation on the National Register of Historic Places would recognize much of the university’s campus as the University of Idaho Historic District.

The nomination includes dozens of historic buildings, structures and landscape features across the Moscow campus.

“The nomination reflects years of research and highlights the people, places and traditions that have shaped University of Idaho since its founding,” Dulce Kersting-Lark, head of U of I’s Special Collections and Archives, said.

University officials expect a final decision later this year.

“The University of Idaho's residential campus is one of the defining features of the student experience,” Green said, “and this designation would help preserve and celebrate that legacy.”
