the atomic bomb and the nuclear reactor
It was not built at any university, although work for the Manhattan Project on various parts of it were done at several universities across the US. Actual design and assembly of the bomb was at Los Alamos, NM; the administration of which was assigned to the University of California (but at no time was Los Alamos a university). After the war industrial atomic bomb factories were created; the administration of which was contracted out to various large corporations.
Before the very scientifically complex atomic bomb, other bombs are just basically tons of explosive stuff jammed into a bombshell, so it wasn't too advanced there.
