Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Simmons is growing, and because of that, improvements are rapidly being made to campus facilities. Future plans continue to please alumnae and students. A $250-million-rebuilding program has modernized the classic Main College Building, with a new College center, conference center, computer kiosks, and the updating of classrooms. The School of Management building recently opened, as well. Current students are glad to have the walkways free again and to not have to listen to the sounds of drills during lectures. The One Palace Road building is home to a high-tech media resource center, the Career Education Center, Writing Center, various offices, and many comfortable classrooms. Underground parking is available for staff under this highly modern addition.

Aesthetically, the Main Campus Building has maintained its classic architecture—the brass weathervane still acts as a beacon and object of pride. The main staircase is worn in the places generations of women have ascended. The small scale of the campus ensures no building can be forgotten, and grounds and cleaning staff work to keep the buildings clean and the grass green. The Holmes sports center houses many stress-releasing pieces of sports equipment, and students come here to seek refuge on the treadmill, in the swimming pool, or on the track.

The Library Is Fantastic

Being a College of the Fenway, Simmons College has the best library compared to its surrounding schools. The resources they offer, and the library staff exceeds expectations. There is always someone there to help, and you can always find what your looking for.

Simmons

The facilities at Simmons are great! We have a big wellness center where there are many dance studios, a gym, an exercise room, and a huge pool. I also love our library. It's cozy and pretty advanced in technology to make printing and copying an easier experience for us.

Favorite Things To Do

If you are looking for something to do on campus, try catching an afternoon lecture or sipping a cup of coffee in Java City. On the Residence Campus, students enjoy the sun on the quad or watching a show on the big screens in the Quadside Café.

Sun on the quad, curl up with a book in the library, and wade in the hot tub in the Holmes Sports Center
