WILLIAMSBURG — William & Mary has launched a hands-on project that blends history, creativity and community spirit: a 64-square-foot model of its historic campus made out of Legos.
Construction began Aug. 20 and is estimated to continue through July 2026, with students, alumni and members of the broader William & Mary community invited to place bricks during scheduled events. When completed, the model will include as many as 200,000 pieces and be permanently displayed in the visitor center of the Sir Christopher Wren Building — the oldest building on campus.
The project aims to replicate some of the university’s most iconic buildings, including the Wren Building and the President’s House, as well as a to-scale Lego version of the Lord Botetourt statue.
