Campus
Located north of Route 176 and east of Rt. 45 in the northeastern corner of the Village of Mundelein on Saint Mary's Lake (Illinois), the seminary occupies more than 600 acres (242.8 ha). The eastern portion of St. Mary's Lake extends into Libertyville, Illinois
The campus has capacity for about 400 students. It is distinctive for its neo-Georgian architecture, laid out symmetrically and centered upon the chapel, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of her Immaculate Conception — the patroness of the seminary.
Other important buildings on the extensive campus - unique among Catholic seminaries - are separate seminarian and faculty residences, a classroom building, the refectory, the Feehan Memorial Library/McEssy Theological Resource Center, the administration building, a convent, gymnasium, conference and guest facilities, the Cardinal Stritch Retreat House, and a Villa for the Archbishop of Chicago.
The campus is home to the historic Howell-Wurlitzer theatre organ, acquired by Cardinal Mundelein in 1934 and installed in the seminary auditorium.
