The campus is located on U.S. Highway 40, approximately two miles east of Terre Haute. The 200-acre site is one of natural beauty, with two lakes, rolling, wooded hills and meadows and provides an excellent environment for educational and co-curricular activities.

Moench Hall, Olin Hall, and Crapo Hall house laboratories, classrooms, and offices for all of the academic departments. Some laboratory courses are taught in the Rotz Laboratory, which houses the Institute’s wind tunnels and engine test equipment. The lower level of Crapo Hall houses the Waters Computer Center. The 40,000 square foot John T. Myers Center for Technological Research with Industry provides students with space and specialized instrumentation to engage in engineering design projects for external clients. The President’s office and the administrative offices for Academic Affairs and Institutional Research and Assessment are located in Hadley Hall.

The John A. Logan Library contains over 75,000 volumes and provides electronic access to several thousand full-text journals. Its atmosphere is enhanced by the Tri Kappa Collection of Indiana artists’ works. The Learning Center is housed in the lower level of the building.

The Grace and Anton Hulman Memorial Union, which overlooks the larger campus lake, features a glass-enclosed dining room which seats 500 persons, the food service, private dining rooms, snack bar, bookstore, formal lounge and game room. The east wing of the building is dedicated to Chauncey Rose. Memorabilia associated with the school’s founder and a 115piece 19th Century British watercolor collection are on display in this wing. The offices of student life, the campus bookstore, the medical services offices, and student counseling services are all located on the ground floor of the Union building.

Hatfield Hall, which houses a world-class 600-seat auditorium along with band and choral practice rooms and a shop for construction of stage sets, is heavily used by student music and drama clubs.

The nondenominational White Chapel overlooks the college’s central lake and provides a venue for a variety of religious services and quiet mediation.

The center of the varsity and intramural athletics and recreation is the Rose-Hulman Sports and Recreation Center. This facility was completed in 1997 and contains the Institute’s competition gymnasium, the Samuel F. Hulbert Arena, as well as the swimming pool, fieldhouse, fitness facilities, locker rooms, intramural and practice facilities, and Athletic Department offices.

Nine residence halls provide on-campus housing for 1,100 students. These buildings include Deming, Percopo, Baur-Sames-Bogart, Speed, Mees, Scharpenberg, Blumberg, Skinner and Apartments East/West halls. (Refer to campus map.)
