The University of Washington (UW, simply Washington, or informally U-Dub) is a public research university in Seattle, Washington.

Overall, UW encompasses over 500 buildings and over 20 million gross square footage of space, including one of the largest library systems in the world with more than 26 university libraries, art centers, museums, laboratories, lecture halls, and stadiums.
