Welcome to the University
design communications and the Spiegel Center for Global and
International Programs. RWU’s newest athletic addition is
the Bayside turf field. Completed in the summer of 2011, this
facility has seating for 575, environmentally sensitive lighting,
a new scoreboard and press box. Throughout the design
and construction process, creating environmentally friendly
facilities has been emphasized.
The University Library provides space for a collection of
more than 300,000 volumes as well as cutting-edge technology
that allows students to take advantage of the latest informationgathering
tools. Other facilities include a modern Recreation
Center and a Performing Arts Center (more commonly known
as The Barn), as well as a variety of academic and residence
buildings. Our Providence Campus in downtown Providence
houses the graduate and continuing studies programs, and
provides urban experiences for students through law clinics and
cooperative education opportunities.
Roger Williams University’s location provides students easy
access to a wealth of recreational and cultural resources. The
Bristol campus is only 30 minutes by car from both Newport
and Providence. Downtown Boston is about an hour by car or
bus, and New York City is a three-and-a-half hour drive. Buses
stop in front of the main gate of the Bristol campus.
This accessibility to off-campus activities, coupled with the
array of on-campus athletic, social and other extracurricular
events, enriches the Roger Williams University student. The
total undergraduate experience prepares students for rewarding
and productive lives here at the University and beyond.
