Focal points of student life outside the classroom include the Sykes Student Union, which houses a movie theater, food court, meeting rooms, and lounges, as well as the Student Recreation Center, which features a popular three-story climbing wall, basketball courts, exercise rooms with cardio equipment and weights, a running track, and a smoothie cafe for post-workout refueling. Over the ensuing decades, the University expanded to the west and south to include residence halls, student activity and athletic facilities, a dining facility, and general academic buildings. Three of these buildings are constructed of the green-hued serpentine stone that has given West Chester its particular character for more than a century. The Academic Quadrangle serves as a landmark surrounded by the University’s oldest buildings: Philips Memorial Building, Recitation Hall, Anderson Hall, Ruby Jones Hall, and the Old Library. The distinctive buildings and magnificent old trees make the campus one of the aesthetic treasures of southeastern Pennsylvania.Īpproaching West Chester Borough from the south, the University stretches westward from High Street and provides a gateway to the borough. West Chester University’s campus is a mixture of 19th-century collegiate Gothic and contemporary architectural styles.
