Brief History of GC University Lahore

History of GC University Lahore

The College was established on 1st January 1864 and temporarily housed in the Zilla School in a portion of Dhyan Singh's Haveli. In April 1871 the college moved to a large bungalow near Anarkali. In 1873 its location was changed to another house called Rahim Khan's Kothi. It was in 1876 that the college moved into the present building. The construction had started almost mid 1872 and was completed in 1877. Situated in the heart of the city the site is surrounded by main business and administrative areas, schools, colleges and Punjab University old Campus.

The academic Campus of any educational institution plays an important part in the nurturing of its students. It imparts a sense of ownership and prode to them. Built during the colonial era, the architectural style, known to be the Celestial Gothic, best suited the academic building. GC University Lahore is considered to be one of the most majestic and grand buildings in the subcontinent. Reflecting the neo-gothic tradition, the building resonates with grandeur and ambience that adapts the climatic and environmental requirements in the form of its wide verandas and high ceilings. Further scale and magnificence is added to the building by placing it on highest level of its contoured site. Sprawling lawns with an elaborate landscape are the integral parts of GCU's overall perspicacity. Not only did the architect design a majestic building but also complement this stateliness with the dynamism of its grand lawn, the legendary "Oval Ground" of the University Campus. Oval Ground is the place where Ravians sit, relax, talk, study, discuss, analyse, ponder and even muse and meditate. Here they make new contacts and explore new ways to manifest their liking for the unknown. The Oval offers them with opportunities to display the dynamic talents they possess.
