The Bellevue University main campus is home to all your learning needs
Most facilities on the Bellevue University main campus have been built or renovated since 1986.
- The latest addition to Bellevue University’s main campus is the Educational Services Building, completed November 2006. This 72,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility includes space for classrooms, conference rooms, student advising, financial aid, Business Office, Enrollment Management, and three of the University’s Colleges: Professional Studies, Information Technology, and the Center for Learning Innovation. The Educational Services Building enables the University to accommodate student enrollment growth, meet the space needs of faculty and staff, enhance the quality of our programs and student support services, and to foster future economic growth in the region.
- The R. Joe Dennis Learning Center was dedicated in 1993 and houses 23 classrooms, 34 full-time faculty offices, a learning center, career services and language lab facilities. The 40,500-square-foot structure provides office space for the majority of the University’s academic functions, including the Dean of Academic Services/Dean of Students, and the College of Business.
- The Riley Technology Center and the A.C. Nelsen Computer Labs meet the increasing technology needs of students. The 12,000-square-foot addition opened in the fall of 1999 and houses Computer Center operations, and computer classrooms and labs.
- In September 1982, the University opened the Hitchcock Humanities Center. Features of this center include an art gallery, art studios, classrooms, and faculty offices. An addition to this center was completed in 1991, including a multi-purpose classroom area to meet the growing needs for high-quality studio space for ceramics, sculpture, and other art programs. In 2004, a major upgrade to the Criss Auditorium was completed making it a high-tech presentation center with web conferencing capability. The lobby, faculty offices, and art display areas were remodeled, providing a new look and feel for the building.
- Renovated in 2002, The Freeman Library and the Emma Lozier Addition house the University’s Integrated Media Center, Collaborative Learning/Study Areas, accelerated program admissions and the Bellevue University Foundation. In the Integrated Media Center, students have access to computerized and web-based resources, with training facilities to teach students how to effectively use these resources. The library has a collection in excess of 105,000 volumes as well as hundreds of periodicals, audio/visual, and CD-ROM materials. Group and individual study tables are available for both serious study and leisure reading. Bellevue University and its librarians provide the academic services necessary to support and maintain quality undergraduate, graduate, and online education.
- The Gordon Lozier Physical Health Center provides facilities for basketball, volleyball, weight lifting, and fitness programs. In the Venteicher Wellness Center, equipment further enhances our ability to meet the health and recreational needs of our total community, from students to faculty and staff.
- The Margre H. Durham Student Center was dedicated in December 1986. The facility was originally known as the Richard D. Winchell Student Center. This facility was remodeled extensively for the 2004-2005 academic year and now includes expanded areas for students in support of growing enrollment and a Faculty Resource Center for adjunct faculty.
- The former IT&T office building that once housed the entire college is now the renovated Durham Administration Center. The building, featuring a 50-foot-high clock and bell tower, was dedicated June 16, 1994.
