St. Norbert College - Campus

Campus

The campus consists of 93 acres (38 ha), much of which borders the Fox River. Students typically walk to classes, even in the winter. The many trees and statues on campus provide a scenic view, especially in Fall, when the foliage changes colors. Directly behind the Campus Center is a pavilion and docks where St. Norbert hosts its fall Back to School Festival, a kick off to the new school year, with fireworks, a picnic, and live entertainment on the Fox River waterfront. Gries Hall was recently added to SNC campus, as well as a new library.

Important social buildings include the Ray Van Den Heuvel Family Campus Center (Campus Center), which includes a fitness center, gymnasium, and diner (Phil’s Diner) and a reading lounge with a picturesque view overlooking the Fox River. There is also an events hall for movies and public speakers. Special events put on by student groups are also held there, such as comedian appearances and awareness speeches. The Baer mall, in front of Main Hall, is another scenic location.
