Campus of Harvard Business School

Campus of Harvard Business School

The HBS campus is located in Allston, across the Charles River from the main Harvard campus in Cambridge. Many of the buildings are red brick exterior, like many buildings in Harvard Yard. HBS maintains a number of facilities including a sports center and the class of 1959 Chapel that are dedicated to the exclusive use of their community. A series of underground tunnels connects the basements of nearly every building on campus, with the notable exception of the most recent student housing facilities that are SFP (Soldier Field Park) and OWA (One Western Avenue) buildings. Spangler Hall main building is considered HBS 'living rooms, meeting rooms, administrative offices and dining facilities. Most classrooms are located in Aldrich and Hawes, most of which are bedrooms "amphi-theater" with about five rows in a semicircle of 100 students. This design facilitates the teaching of the case method. Baker Library was reopened in 2005 after several years of renovation. The new building has studio spaces for students and faculty offices. The gym is located in Shad Hall, across from Morgan Hall, which houses most of the faculty. Shad Hall is also the location of the Computer Lab for Experimental Research (CLER), which hold many business research studies. Closer to the Charles River are MacArthur Hall and Baker Hall, which accommodate the Executive Education programs, and several dormitories.
