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 administrative offices of enrollment and institutional advancement. 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 and Elliott Halls. 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 Dining Hall 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 Busi ness is located in Blessed Mary Angela Hall.
The Education Commons includes a Nursing Resource and Simulation Center, the Rutherford Campus Library, and classrooms – all thoughtfully designed to facilitate personal interaction within a state-of-the-art technological environment.
Located within the Education Commons, the Rutherford Campus Library contains a circulation reference service desk, group study rooms, a Digital Media Lab and a computer laboratory. It also houses print collections for the School of Business and Information Sciences. All electronic resources can be accessed through the Felician University Libraries website (https://felician.libguides.com/libraries) both on-campus and off-campus, with a University network ID and password.
The Rutherford Campus is a short distance from downtown Rutherford where there are many shops and businesses of interest to students.
