Facilities:

Since its founding in 1845, Wittenberg's facilities have grown from a single brick building to 26 academic, residential and administrative facilities dispersed throughout 70 acres of wooded and rolling hills.

In 2000, Wittenberg opened Hollenbeck Hall, a building dedicated to the humanities. Most recently, the university opened a state-of-the-art science facility. All 26 facilities are designed to enhance learning and to accommodate the focus of collaboration among the faculty and students.

Art and Performing Arts

The arts are housed in a number of venues that accomodate the needs of Wittenberg's talented student actors, musicians and studio artists. From a 200-seat, black-box theater to the modern Music and Technology Lab that provides students with the opportunity to compose music using keyboard synthesizers, student actors and musicians are provided with the necessary means to arise to their fullest potential. The black box theater, Chakeres Memorial Theatre, provides a versatile and intimate setting for theatre and dance performances. Koch Hall, Wittenberg's fine arts center also features the Ann Miller Gallery which provides sufficient space where professional artists, faculty and students can proudly display their artwork to the campus community.

Athletic Facilities

The Health, Physical Education and Recreation Center serves as the home for Wittenberg's athletic facilities. The HPER Center houses the natatorium; three full-length basketball/volleyball courts; handball, racquetball and squash courts; a weight room; physical education classrooms; and locker facilities. Directly outside the HPER Center stands The Albright Tennis Complex, featuring 12 courts; Edward-Maurer field with stadium seating for 3,000 and an astro-turf competition field; and the Earl F. Morris 400-meter track.

Hollenbeck Hall

Opened in 2000, Hollenbeck Hall reflects Wittenberg's focus on collaboration between the faculty and students. Within Hollenbeck, students are able to explore the various interdisciplinary programs within the humanities. The Math Workshop, Writing Center and first-rate computer labs specifically designed to lend any flustered student a hand are located inside. The Office of International Education is located on the first floor.

Science Facilities

From cancer cell identification to brain morphology to cryptology, Wittenberg students and faculty engage in innovative, collaborative research projects every year. The new Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center provides modern laboratory and computing facilities dedicated specifically to these collaborative research projects. With technological components housed inside, including a DNA sequencer and three electron microscopes, along with the latest cluster computer technology with super computing abilities, the Kuss Science Center offers students unlimited avenues for exploration, creativity and scientific inquiry. The new addition is complete with a first-rate research facility that will enrich science in the liberal arts and make a difference in the lives of countless Wittenberg students for decades to come.

The Weaver Observatory is the home of Wittenberg's 10-inch reflective telescope used by the physics and astronomy classes. The observatory is open to students and the community throughout the school year to provide viewing opportunity for more than just students of astronomy.

Zimmerman Hall is home of the psychology department. Located next to the Kuss Science Center, Wittenberg's former library now houses classrooms and faculty offices.

Student Center

The Benham-Pence Student Center serves as the central hub for Wittenberg students. Here the students check their mail, dine with friends and shop for Wittenberg apparel at the university bookstore. The Student Center offers two dining facilities where students can choose from a plethora of food options, whether it's Skyline Chili, a healthy salad or a freshly grilled omelet for breakfast.
