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 religous 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.
Seven residence halls provide on-campus housing
for 881 students. These buildings include Deming,
New Hall, Baur-Sames-Bogart, Speed, Mees,
Scharpenberg, and Blumberg halls. (Refer to campus
map on the inside back cover for the campus plan
and location of the buildings.)
