Campus

Your Home Away From Home

Yes, it's true, we were named by onlineschoolscenter.com among the 30 most beautiful campuses to visit in the fall (we ranked #11 nationwide!). Come for a visit and see for yourself!

Since 2011, more than $90 million have been invested in new classroom, laboratory, residence, dining, and athletic construction and modernization projects. The 215-acre campus includes 28 major buildings (10 residence facilities) and an expansive outdoor sports complex anchored by the 1,500-seat Golden Bear Stadium all clustered around a walkable central core. Residential options run from traditional halls for first-year students to suites, apartments, and townhouses, including housing for graduate and law students.

Academic facilities range from 30 engineering laboratories in Sleith Hall, including a Biomedical Engineering suite that replicates a hospital setting; 19 STEM laboratories and a model pharmacy in the $40 million Center for the Sciences and Pharmacy; the Cohen Trading Room and Financial Center and Business Analytics Center; state-of-the-art performance and participation labs for occupational therapy students; a multimedia moot courtroom at the School of Law; a television and media studio; to the new WNE MakerSpace for student entrepreneurs.

Opened in 2018, the new University Commons is the go-to dining and social destination for residential and commuter students. Offering space to share meals, unwind, or study, the University Commons features a Starbucks® Café, pop-up dining options, grille, convenience store, sushi bar, two-story residential dining hall, meeting rooms, and an outdoor terrace.

With major renovations and expansions, the D’Amour Library and Law Library (the only law library in western Massachusetts) have been redesigned with more open workspaces to inspire collaborative learning and research, along with meeting rooms and computer labs.

It's no wonder that a recent survey of incoming students cited our "Quality of Academic Facilities" as the top reason they chose Western New England University.

The Center for the Sciences and Pharmacy
The Center for the Sciences and Pharmacy takes classroom learning and research to a new level for students studying Pharmacy, the Sciences, and Psychology. The $40 million high-tech building includes 19 laboratories—from behavioral analysis to neuroscience—to prepare you for the important role that science plays in healthcare, technology, and the global economy. The administrative offices for the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences are located here along with a model pharmacy, simulation lab, and stadium-style classrooms. All science departments are housed here. The University's Health Services Office is also located on the first floor.

Sleith Hall
From a simulated hospital suite in the Department of Biomedical Engineering to specialized labs to explore structures, transportation, and soil in the Department of Civil Engineering, to the robotics technology used by students studying mechatronics, Sleith Hall is hub of engineering innovation. Fresh from a $12.8 million renovation and expansion, Sleith Hall offers studio learning classrooms and a wide range of labs that are accessible to undergraduates. Wood Hall Auditorium is used campus-wide for lectures, presentations, and performances. The building is named for alumnus William Sleith'44/H'80, the inventor of the hand-held mixer, a staple in kitchens around the globe.

Churchill Hall
Home to the College of Business, Churchill Hall was named for our first president (Dr. John D. Churchill) and features the Cohen Trading Room and Technology Center, computer labs, and multimedia classrooms for students in our business programs. The dean's office and business faculty offices are located here.

Herman Hall
Herman Hall, which underwent a recent $8.3 million renovation, is where you will find the Math and Writer Centers, Art Studio, and numerous multimedia classrooms for liberal arts programs. The building also houses the Dean's office and numerous faculty offices.

Emerson Hall
With more than 25 majors and programs offered by the College of Arts and Sciences, its academic facilities span three buildings. Emerson Hall, the first academic building on campus, is home to many Arts and Sciences programs and their classroom facilities and faculty offices.

LaRiviere Living and Learning Center
Honoring the generosity of long-serving Trustee Al LaRiviere '51/H'95/H'01, the LaRiviere Living and Learning Center is a multi-use facility offering both suite-style residential options and multimedia classrooms.

Blake Law Center
A $5.5 million renovation and expansion to the Blake Law Center has transformed the way students learn at the School of Law. The 10,000-square-foot wing addition features a multipurpose lobby and administrative offices. Renovations include a major expansion to the Law Library, increased social space, and the implementation of technology based improvements to classrooms, seminar, and interview rooms as well as an expanded lounge and café.
