Community and Campus
Radford University is an 177-acre (0.72 km2) campus located in a residential area of Radford, Virginia. The town is located in the Virginia Highlands, between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains at a double bend in the New River. Nearly all of the 35 administrative, academic, student services, and residence halls, many built in a red-brick Georgian style, are located on three quadrangles and a new pedestrian thoroughfare in a 76-acre (310,000 m2) area, while a large adjoining area along the New River holds a variety of the university's athletic facilities.
Radford is located on exits 105 and 109 of Interstate 81, with accessibility to nearby I-77.
Bordering the Little River, and about five miles from campus, is the Selu Conservancy, a 376-acre (1.52 km2) preserve and conference center owned by the University Foundation.
