Campus
More than twenty major buildings, predominantly Tudor in architecture, and sixty landscaped acres make up the John Carroll campus. The red-brick Administration Building, surmounted by the university's landmark Grasselli Tower, bears clear resemblance to the English royal palace Hampton Court.
Thorne Acres, a 38-acre (150,000 m2) property in nearby Chardon, provides additional recreational and educational facilities.
Major buildings include the Grasselli Library and its John G. and Mary Jane Breen Learning Center, the James A. Bohannon Science Center, the Thomas P. O'Malley, SJ Center for Communications and Language Arts, and the D.J. Lombardo Student Center. This center includes the Little Theatre, the Harold C. Schott Dining Hall, the Inn Between, the Underground, recreational facilities, public conference rooms, and offices for student organizations; it is also the location of the Fritzsche Religious Center containing the campus ministry offices and the Saint Francis Chapel. In recent years, the University has purchased several homes as well as a nearby shopping plaza which abut the campus in order to both provide for additional office and housing space, but also to help preserve the look of the neighborhood around the campus which has become landlocked since the University was one of the original developments in what was once part of neighboring Shaker Heights.
The Don Shula Sports Center includes the William H. Johnson Natatorium and the Ralph Vince Fitness Center. Other major facilities include:
- Administration Building
- Boler School of Business
- Dolan Center for Science and Technology
- Kulas Auditorium
- Rodman Hall
- Wasmer and Schweickert fields for outdoor athletic events.
- Eight student residence halls.
