Damavand College

Damavand College (Persian: مدرسه عالی دماوند; romanization: Madreseh-ye Ālī-ye Damāvand; and later, دانشکده دماوند Dāneshkadeh-ye Damāvand) was founded in 1968 as a private institution of higher learning for women and run by an international community and by American Presbyterian Missionaries. In 19

74, it became a public college, offering a four-year intercultural program in liberal arts. In 1976, the campus was designed by William Wesley Peters of Taliesin Associated Architects (Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation) and Nezam Amery of the Amery-Kamooneh-Khosrovi Group. It was one of the last educational centers that closed down preceding the February 1979 events with the Islamic Iranian Revolution. The former campus of Damavand College is now occupied by Payame Noor University.
