Facilities

Scattered around our beautiful campus, the buildings of the Getty College of Arts and Sciences mirror the history and scope of Ohio Northern University.

Education, humanities, social sciences, and music disciplines are located at the front of campus in fine examples of historic Northern architecture: stately Dukes Memorial, where the Dean's Office is housed; Hill Memorial, with its distinctive clock tower; and Presser Hall, whose auditorium is graced with red velvet seats and jewel-toned stained glass windows. Like all of campus, these traditional facilities are equipped with wireless access and up-to-date instructional technology.

Our impressive state-of-the-art science facilities in the Meyer Hall of Science, Science Annex, and forthcoming Mathile Center for the Natural Sciences include a new mathematics tutoring center, recently renovated chemistry laboratories, and both a plasma and an optics laboratory. Our greenhouse houses an amazing variety of plant life, augmented by the Metzger Nature Center and the Wetlands Restoration Project. Technological studies students explore machining, CAD, robotics, virtual simulation, and more in the laboratory spaces of Taft Memorial. Getty students exercise, train, and rehabilitate their bodies in the expansive King Horn Sports Center, with its indoor pool, courts, track, dance studios, and weight, exercise, and therapy rooms.

Located near the center of campus and connected to Northern's English Chapel, Burgett Pavilion is a new, modern structure housing the traditional disciplines of philosophy and religion. Students create art in the studios of the Wilson Art Building and display it in the adjoining Elzay Gallery of Art. Finally, the regionally-renown Freed Center for the Performing Arts is home to Northern's cable television (Cable 3) and radio (WONB-FM) stations as well as the intimate Stanbough Studio Theatre and the gorgeous 550-seat Biggs Theatre.
