htmlText_5FAA5019_7B16_EFDC_41BA_642E43E710E3.html = At the center of campus is the Quad. During nice weather, it resembles a giant living room. Students are often studying, playing Ultimate Frisbee, or having snowball fights here.
Burke Field is home to our men’s and women’s soccer teams, men’s and women’s track and field teams, and our field hockey team. At one end of it sits the Kerr-Pegula Athletic Complex, Field House.
Chamberlain Center is one of our main academic buildings, home to many of our humanities and social science classes. This building is named after Daniel Chamberlain, Houghton’s fourth president.
One of the signature things about Houghton’s buildings is the creekstone that they are made of. The creekstone serves as a reminder to us of God’s provision.
Each floor has a lounge that serves as a gathering space for residents to study or just spend time together.
In the lower level of the Reinhold Campus Center is our Student Engagement Center, which is home to our all of our clubs and organizations.
Our Campus Activities Board (CAB) works out of here. This student-led group plans events like Midnight Breakfast and weekly coffeehouses. Student Council also operates out of this space. They represent the student perspective to the faculty and our Board of Trustees and are the governing body for all student clubs. There are lots of ways to get involved on campus!
Java 101 is one of our two on-campus restaurants. This is a great place to study, meet with friends and professors, and attend or play at weekly coffeehouses. Each semester, students get $100 Highlander Flex Dollars, as part of their meal plan, to use at our on-campus restaurants like Java.
Located in the Paine Center for Science, this is a study space for our Computer & Data Science students. Our faculty design their curriculum so that students have to work together so that they get collaborative experience. There is a collaborative space like this on each floor.
Many events occur in the Recital Hall, the most common being the recitals our junior and senior music majors perform. Additionally, our Lyric Theater productions often happen here.
On the first floor of the Chamberlain Center is the Sally and Benn Forsyth Learning Commons, one of our classrooms primarily used for our Communication and Art students. Students refer to it as the “Mac Lab.” Our graphic design, video, and motion graphics students spend lot of time here, but students don’t have to be in a media class to use the computers. There are open hours every weeknight and on Saturday, and student proctors to assist.
Our Equestrian Center features two indoor riding arenas, as well as a variety of stalls, riding areas, and a traditional classroom. Students can bring their own horse or use the horses here at the stables. Students can also work in the Equestrian Center.
Our dining options are provided by Metz, a family-owned food service provider. They serve locally produced products in a variety of food stations. There are options for those with dietary restrictions, and several options for meal plans for students, as well.
Research opportunities are available, as early as your first year at Houghton! Through our Shannon Summer Institute and our Science Honors Program, students can get a variety of research opportunities and experiences during their four years on campus.
The Center for the Arts is home to the Greatbatch School of Music. This facility includes 24 practice rooms, a Music Library, and a Pro Tools Keyboard Lab and houses all University ensembles, both instrumental and choral.
The Kerr-Pegula Athletic Center, or the KPAC, is made up of the field house, baseball field, softball field and Burke Field. The Field House has 6 tennis courts, batting cages, and an indoor track. Dividers allow so that multiple sports can be played at once. The Field House is used for Homecoming events, concerts, and Rochester and Buffalo sectional high school track and tennis tournaments.
The Nielsen Center is home to our men’s and women’s volleyball teams, men’s and women’s basketball teams and our co-ed cheer team. It also features a workout center, swimming pool and rock wall.
The Stevens Art Studio is comprised of studios for printmaking, drawing, painting, book arts, photography, ceramics, woodworking, sculpture, and a dark room. It also includes a critique space for students to evaluate each other’s work. This is the ceramics studio.
The Willard J. Houghton Library is home to our Math department as well as our Library itself.
The Library hosts about a quarter of a million volumes in total, spread out over three floors. Students also have access to over half a million online resources. There are a variety of study areas available for groups and alone.
The first floor of the Chamberlain Center contains the Center for Student Success, which hosts all the resources for students in one area. This includes the Writing Center, Counseling Center, Academic Support, Career Services, and Veteran’s and Military Support. The staff in these areas work to serve our students holistically to ensure they are successful.
The mural that resides in the foyer of the Chapel is titled “Redemption” and was created by two Houghton Art Professors, H. Willard and Aimee Ortlip. The mural goes through the Biblical history, from Creation through the birth of Jesus, his ministry, death and resurrection, and the early church. Houghton’s history is painted into this mural as well!

The on-campus Gallery, the Ortlip Gallery, has five to six exhibits per year. Some feature our faculty, some feature outside artists, and one, in the spring, features Houghton’s seniors.
The sanctuary of the Chapel seats approximately 1100 students, faculty, and staff. Chapel services take place twice a week and students are asked to attend all services. Services vary in style and format for both music styles and speakers.
This is Fancher Hall. Fancher is our oldest building on campus and is home to Admission, Student Financial Services and our Registrar’s Office. This is the Admission Office and it’s here that your Houghton journey begins—with the application process.
Houghton is a nationally-ranked liberal arts institution. Students takes classes and gain experience in a variety of academic areas, in addition to taking classes within their major.
This is the Larder Courtyard. During the nice weather, there is a fire pit that students crowd around, clubs can meet here, and it’s a great place to study or relax and hang out with friends. These informal times are important, because college is more than just getting your degree. The community that happens here at Houghton helps you grow into the person you are meant to be.
This is the Paine Center for Science, named after our second president, Stephen Paine. The first floor is Physics, the second floor is Computer Science and Data Science, the third floor is Biology, and the fourth floor is Chemistry.
Hands-on learning is part of how we do science at Houghton. Because of this, we have a lecture/lab model for some of our classes, where classes are a bit longer but incorporate the lecture and lab together. That’s why all of the desks and chairs are on wheels, because the faculty will actually rearrange the room and do the lab during class. And round-the-room chalkboards allow everyone to work on a problem at once.
This is the Van Dyk Lounge, in the Reinhold Campus Center. This is a popular place to hang out in-between class, do a bit of homework, and warm-up by the fire in the winter months. There are also lots of fun events that happen here.
We have four main residence halls on campus, as well as townhouse options for juniors and seniors. Halls are single-gendered and feature a variety of room types.

University
As you start this tour, it's important to know the mission of Houghton University. This mission statement is only one sentence long, but it truly encapsulates the experience of a Houghton education.
Houghton University provides an academically challenging, Christ-centered education in the liberal arts and sciences to students from diverse traditions and economic backgrounds and equips them to lead and labor as scholar-servants in a changing world.
Here at Houghton, these core principles influence everything—from academics to campus life to the everyday experiences in our residence halls, Chapel, and even in our interactions with each other.
