The 1800s era core buildings at MIT (1906) and Stanford (1892) are made out of bulk sandstone/limestone and are still standing. Post WWII concrete crap are crumbling and being replaced by fake-stone cladding buildings. One gem ironically called the Terman Engineering Building had to be torn down after only 30 years because of severe deterioration.
The core buildings might last a half millennium.
