Edinboro University of Pennsylvania - Campuses

Campuses

The main campus is located 18 miles (29 km) from Erie, Pennsylvania and within 100 miles (160 km) of the educational and major population centers of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. The main campus has 42 buildings on a 585-acre (2.37 km2) campus which includes a 5-acre (20,000 m2) pond, open fields and woods, 11 on-campus residence halls (Highlands 1~8, Earp Hall, Dearborn Hall and Lawrence Towers) for approximately 5,000 students, and the modern seven-story Baron-Forness Library with more than 490,000 bound volumes and 1.4 million microform units. Edinboro University offers 100 degree programs and 57 minors. More than one-half of the faculty members at Edinboro University have earned doctorates or the highest degree attainable in their field. Many of them have been recognized nationally and internationally for their outstanding research and scholarly accomplishments. In addition, a number of faculty members have held state and national leadership roles in their professional organizations. The student-faculty ratio is 18:1.

Many facilities on Edinboro's campus are new, recently renovated, or have plans for renovation. In fall 2007, Academy Hall, the first building on Edinboro's campus, was reopened after a complete renovation in honor of the university's 150th Anniversary. Major renovations to Sox Harrison Stadium were completed by a gift from the Student Government Association, giving the football and track facilities Sportexe artificial turf, a new scoreboard, and lighting. A new state-of-the-art facility for the music program, the William Alexander Music Center, and a major renovation to the Frank G. Pogue Student Center were completed in early 2008. The Mike S. Zafirovski Sports and Recreation Center, a large domed indoor recreation and event facility, was completed in 2009. The university is in the second phase of a $115 million partnership between American Campus Communities and the Edinboro University Foundation to construct eight new suite-style residence halls. Additional plans include the $30 million complete renovation and expansion of Cooper Science Hall and the construction of a human services building (nursing and speech & hearing sciences), an addition onto Baron-Forness Library to host student services and health services, and a graduate studies center in the current location of Centennial Hall.

Edinboro students may also choose to attend classes at two regional learning centers, The Porreco Center in Erie and the Parkside Commons classroom in Meadville. The Porreco Center sits on the former Louis Porreco horse farm and estate in Millcreek Township, PA and allows students to complete undergraduate coursework toward the completion of an Associate's Degree without leaving the Erie area. The Porreco Center consists of 10 buildings and a small pond. The Meadville campus is temporarily housed at Parkside Commons in Meadville until a new permanent location is found.
