TO PROVIDE THE SUPERIOR CLASSROOMS AND CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY NECESSARY TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THEIR FUTURE, THE COLLEGE HAS ENHANCED ITS FACILITIES SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. TODAY, THE 200-ACRE SUBURBAN CAMPUS IS A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE OF STATELY 1900S ARCHITECTURE - SYMBOLIC OF THE COLLEGE'S CENTURY-OLD HERITAGE - AND STATE-OF-THE-ART ACADEMIC AND CO-CURRICULAR BUILDINGS.
