Why Emmanuel

Emmanuel's tiered, theater style classrooms are ideal for group work and collaboration.

Classrooms contain state-of-the-art media to faciliate a variety of presentations and interactive learning.

Traditional classrooms serve multiple purposes; they can, depending on the day, be set up lecture style or rearranged to facilitate small group discussions.

The Maureen Murphy Wilkens Science Center, which opened in 2010, is the hub of academic research on Emmanuel's campus.

The Wilkens Science Center is home to 14 laboratories for biology, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, neuroscience and other research initiatives.

Here, students and faculty collaborate on groundbreaking research, and have received more than $2 million in National Science Foundation (NSF) funding over the past decade.

The Art Department, located on the fifth floor of the Eisner Administration Building, offers gallery space as well as studios for printmaking, painting, ceramics, photography, graphic design and more.

The Learning Commons in the Cardinal Cushing Library also offers ample space for solo and group study, and encourages collaboration on innovative projects and initiatives.

Emmanuel's newest residence hall, an 18-story, apartment-style tower, opened in Fall 2018.

The units in the St. Julie Hall offer the best of both worlds: independent, apartment-style living on campus in the heart of Boston.

The Atrium of St. Julie Hall, open to the entire College community, is home to the Margaret L. McKenna '83 Media Center, Dunkin, Fitness Center, Dance Studio, Joe Di's Food Mart, and plenty of space to hold events or hang out.

All of Emmanuel's residence halls have ample lounge space to gather, study or host events.

Emmanuel's traditional residence halls, such as Loretto Hall, pictured here, are co-educational, and feature single-sex hall bathrooms, fully-equipped kitchens and laundry facilities, as well as lounges and other social spaces.

Generations of Emmanuel students say they met their best friend in their residence hall during their first year! Residence Life hosts a variety of floor- or hall-based programs every semester to build community in your home away from home.

The Eisner Administration Building has served as the architectural symbol of Emmanuel College for more than 100 years. It is home to the historic Chapel, classrooms, the Art Department, faculty and staff offices, meeting space, the mailroom and the Muddy River Café.

During the warmer months, you can find students eating lunch and studying on the patio outside the Muddy River Cafe.

The Emmanuel College Chapel is the heart and soul of the Eisner Administration Building. Located at the center of the building, the Chapel has witnessed more than 100 years of Liturgies, weddings and campus traditions.
