Lodi Campus
Felician University’s Lodi campus is located on 27 bucolic acres along the banks of the Saddle River and offers a collegiate setting in suburban Bergen County, within easy driving distance of New York City. This campus is comprised of several buildings.
Albin Obal Hall is a three-story, multi-purpose building that includes administrative and faculty offices, science laboratories, art and music studios, lecture halls and classrooms, as well as student lounges and activity rooms. It also houses the audio-visual center, computer centers, conference rooms, and the campus store. It is a barrier-free facility.
The John J. Breslin Performing Arts Center and the Goya Dining Hall are connected to Albin Obal Hall by an attractive foyer that serves as a meeting place and a gallery. The Auditorium is a modern theatrical facility, comfortably seats 1,500 people, and is used by many international, national and local groups of performing artists. The Performing Arts Center also functions as a conference center for various University and community activities. Beneath the Theatre is a dining hall with a fully equipped kitchen.
Kirby Hall, a five story 48,000 square foot structure completed in 1994, houses academic classrooms, seminar rooms, laboratories, chemistry facilities, and faculty offices. The design of the building facilitates interaction between faculty and students with numerous lounges, small conference areas, and tutorial rooms. It is a barrier-free facility.
A center for childcare and simulated nursing practice was dedicated in the fall of 1987. The first floor of the building is devoted to a well-equipped Child Care Center for the convenience of students and faculty.
Serving as a center for scholarship, study, and collaborative learning, Felician University Library houses the print collections for each of the Schools (Arts & Science, Business and Information Sciences, Education, and Nursing). The curriculum collection, a special collection of children's educational and literary materials, is held in the Audrey Toron Room. Its three levels contain a circulation service desk, reference service desk, information commons, reading room, book stacks, spaces for group as well as quiet study and a computer laboratory. All electronic resources can be accessed through the Felician University Library's website (Library - Home ) on-campus and off-campus, by entering the Felician University network ID and password.
The University’s Computer facilities include an academic and administrative network, five computerized labs (art, biology, writing, accounting/mathematics, and computer science), a computerized learning center, and two computer centers available for students, with about 200 computers for student and faculty use. All classrooms, offices, and facilities are wired for the Internet and e-mail. Most computers on campus are part of a network and have e-mail capability and a connection to the Internet.
Rutherford Campus
The Felician University Rutherford Campus is set on 10.5 beautifully landscaped acres in the heart of the historic community of Rutherford, New Jersey. Only fifteen minutes from the Lodi Campus, the Rutherford complex contains student residences, classroom buildings, a student center, a gymnasium and a structure – originally known as Iviswold Castle – which is now home to a student lounge and café, campus chapel, and President’s office. The historic Castle at Felician University, unanimously approved for inclusion on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places in 2004, opened in the spring of 2013 following a restoration project that took 14 years to complete. The arduous and meticulous work undertaken by a team of historic architects and engineers uncovered myriad hidden treasures, the most astonishing of which was a wall sculpture –previously walled over – depicting a scene resembling 14th century Florentine artwork.
Students are housed in two residence halls: Milton Court and Elliott Terrace. Both buildings have housing organized around student suites containing semi-private baths. Residence Life is located in Elliott Terrace, Lower Level.
The Student Center contains the Falcon’s Nest, weight room, lounge and meeting spaces. The Joe and Joal Job Gymnasium (the JJJ Gym) building also contains the Campus Cafeteria on its lower level. Classes are offered in Martin Hall, Sammartino Hall, and Blessed Mary Angela Hall. The School of Education is located in Sammartino Hall. The School of Business is located in Martin Hall.
In the spring of 2013 grant funding was obtained, and plans finalized, for the transformation of the building formerly known as Messler Library into an Education Commons, which includes a Nursing Resource and Simulation Center, and classrooms – all thoughtfully designed to facilitate personal interaction within a state-of-the-art technological environment.
The Rutherford Campus is a short distance from downtown Rutherford where there are many shops and businesses of interest to students.
