Campus

The main building is the Johnson Academic Centre, named in recognition of the support of the Theodore R. & Vivian M. Johnson Scholarship Foundation. The Centre contains classrooms, labs, administrative offices, dining hall, kitchen, and conference room. It was originally a home owned by Roy A. Jodrey, and later became the Paramount Hotel in 1942.

Other buildings on campus contain the boys' and girls' dormitories, additional learning spaces, student common areas, and multiple exercise facilities.
