Campus
BGSU Firelands that started with one building in 1968, now has four buildings, Foundation Hall, The West Building, the North Building and the newest addition completed in 2003, The Cedar Point Center. The Cedar Point Center hosts an array of cutting edge educational technology tools for teaching or conferencing onsite and or from a distance, via satellite and broadband communications modes.
There is a fifth building whose construction is being contemplated that will have more laboratory spaces for the health field degree programs offered at BGSU Firelands, that include: a Register Nurse degree program through a partnership with Lorain County Community College, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program through a partnership with the University of Toledo and a Radiologic Degree program that was developed at BGSU Firelands and is in its third year.
BGSU Firelands is also the site of the McBride Arboretum (named in honor of Dr. James McBride, the college's first Dean), a natural spot that was carefully thought out, designed and implemented to showcase the plants, trees and grasses that are a part of the natural setting of the Firelands Region. The latest addition to the Arboretum was donated by Deering family of Erie County and is an all-weather deck built along one of the many small bodies of water in the Arboretum, which is 60 feet (18 m) long, on which students and the public can enjoy the wonder of nature. The Arboretum is managed for BGSU Firelands by Erie MetroParks.
Some off-site classes are held in Sandusky, Norwalk, and Elyria.
