The University of Arizona is a public research university in Tucson, Arizona. It was founded on February 24, 1885, as the "Arizona Territorial Normal School" when the territory was still part of New Mexico Territory.The university's charter provided for five schools: the College of agriculture and mechanical arts (now called the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences), which became a school within UA; the School of Mines and Metallurgy (now called the School of Earth & Space Exploration); the School of Medicine; the School of Law; and one additional school that did not materialize until later years (the College).

In its early years, classes were held at what is now known as Old Main building on campus grounds near downtown Tucson (the current site is occupied by a parking lot). The campus consisted mostly on acreage donated from Greenwood/Cox Flats with additional lands purchased from time to time throughout its history . Construction began in 1887 on what would become Old Main building after Harvard-educated architect Willard Smith opened an office in Tucson upon leaving his post as Acting Superintendent for Public Works back East . In 1890 he led an expedition into northern Arizona searching for ancient cliff dwellings built by Hohokam Indians long before Europeans arrived there . By 1893 most construction had been completed including a library constructed with funds donated by Andrew Carnegie , who also financed many other buildings at universities across America during this period .

The university is organized into six campuses, including the Downtown Campus located in Downtown Tucson.
