The majority of the buildings of the arts and humanities departments of the College of Arts and Science, as well as the facilities of the law school, Owen Graduate School of Management, and the divinity school, are located in the original campus. Additionally, the Heard Central Library and Sarratt Student Center/Rand Hall can be found on the original campus.<ref name="campus map" />

Flanking the original campus to the south are the Stevenson Center for Science and Mathematics—built on a woodland once known as the Sacred Grove<ref>{{cite book |title=To Quarks and Quasars: A History of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University |first1=Robert T. |last1=Lagemann |first2=Wendell G. |last2=Holladay |year=2000 |quote=They agreed that the preferred location would be the popularly named "Sacred Grove," a wooded, open area east of the Engineering School and north of the Medical School, more or less where the Stevenson Center now stands. |page=32}}</ref>—and the School of Engineering complex (Jacobs Hall-Featheringill Hall). Housing the Science Library, the School of Engineering, and all the science and math departments of the College of Arts and Science, this complex sits between the original campus and the Medical Center.<ref name="campus map" /> The Vanderbilt University Medical Center itself takes up the southeastern part of the campus.<ref name="campus map" /> Besides the various associated hospitals and clinics and the facilities of the Schools of Medicine and Nursing, the medical center also houses many major research facilities.

West of the original campus and the Medical Center, Greek Row and the bulk of the Vanderbilt residence halls are found.<ref name="campus map" /> From north to south, Carmichael Towers, Greek Row, Branscomb Quadrangle, and Highland Quadrangle house the vast majority of on-campus residents in facilities ranging from the double-occupancy, shared-bathroom dorms in Branscomb and Towers to the apartments and lodges in Highland Quadrangle.<ref name="campus map" /> There are 20 residence halls and apartments across both campuses.<ref name="The Vanderbilt Profile*"/>

The design of the campus and buildings can be described as eclectic, with buildings of various styles and eras. The original 75-acre campus included 11 structures situated along ridge lines with sprawling views of downtown Nashville. The original campus gates are still located off 21st Avenue. Currently four of the original 11 campus structures still exist. One of these is Kirkland Hall, one of the more recognizable buildings on campus. Built in 1873, the original building had two [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]] towers. A major fire in 1905 severely damaged the building, and it was rebuilt in an [[Italianate architecture|Italianate]] design with only one tower. The building was named after Chancellor James Hampton Kirkland, who served as Vanderbilt's chancellor from 1893 to 1937.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://newsonline.library.vanderbilt.edu/2018/10/the-history-of-kirkland-hall-topic-of-new-exhibition/|title=The History of Kirkland Hall Topic of New Exhibition|last=Sterkenburg|first=Sara|date=October 17, 2018 |access-date=2019-11-21}}</ref> In recent years campus planners have strived to preserve the landscape and buildings like Kirkland Hall to keep the original core and maintain a compact, walkable campus.<ref>[https://www.vanderbilt.edu/futurevu/history.php Campus Land Use / Master Planning History at Vanderbilt.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180210003108/https://www.vanderbilt.edu/futurevu/history.php |date=February 10, 2018 }} Downloaded February 9, 2018.</ref>
