Quinnipiac University - Campuses

Campuses

Quinnipiac University consists of three campuses, all within the Hamden and North Haven areas, just north of New Haven, Connecticut.

The oldest of these campuses is the Mount Carmel campus, at the foot of the Sleeping Giant State Park. The Arnold Bernhard Library, Carl Hansen Student Center, university administration, and many of the student residences may be found on this campus.

York Hill, located on a hill about a half-mile from the Mount Carmel campus, began with the development of the TD Bank Sports Center. In 2010 this was joined by a new student center as well as expanded parking and residence facilities as part of a $300 million expansion of the 250-acre (1.0 km2) campus. York Hill is a "green" campus, making use of renewable energy and environmentally friendly resources, including one of the first major wind farms integrated into a university campus.

In 2007, Quinnipiac acquired a 100-acre (0.40 km2) campus in North Haven, Connecticut from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and has been gradually converting it for use by graduate programs at the university.

Quinnipiac University will be opening a medical school in 2013 that will house the teaching of many of the most popular health science majors of the university.
