Welcome to the campus of Salve Regina University! A Catholic, liberal arts institution located in the seaport city of Newport, our historic campus is a home to students across 50 areas of study with diverse passions and interests.

Founded in 1947 by the Sisters of Mercy, Salve Regina teaches students to work for a world that is harmonious, just and merciful.

Click on the audio link for each stop. First, hear from your student ambassadors who will be leading your tour today.

During your visit today, this walking tour will allow you to take in the campus of Salve and learn about our historic background. To formally start the tour route, make your way to the gates pictured at Ochre Court and enter the driveway.

Ochre Court

This is Ochre Court. Used as our main administration building, you can find many offices here including admissions, financial Aid, business office, the office of the President, and so much more. 

Click on the audio button to hear more about the history of this building and Salve’s founding.

If you are facing Ochre Court, you will want to turn around and walk towards the gates at the end of the driveway. Once there, turn right to stay on the side walk on Ochre Point Avenue. At the stop sign, use the crosswalk to your left to cross the street, and then the following crosswalk to your right to cross Webster Street and arrive at Miley Hall.

Miley Hall and Walgreen Hall

These two buildings are adjoined and as they include both our primary all-you-can-eat dining facility, bookstore, Miley Lounge that includes a Starbucks and two of our first-year residence halls – they are always buzzing with activity. Keeping many student services and offices centralized in this location and easy for students to locate, you’ll also find health services, counseling services, the center for student development, multicultural programs and retention and the office of residence life.

Click on the audio link to learn more about the first-year experience at Salve.

After you’ve completed this stop’s audio segment, we invite you to make your way across Webster St toward the parking lot in front of you. To your right you will see a small building, Tobin Hall, our next stop and just behind it a green trimmed building, Rogers Recreation Center that will follow.

Next is Tobin Hall. Located centrally on campus, this is the home of Safety and Security. Need help? Need a ride? Need your parking pass? Come on in!

Click on the audio button to hear more about safety on campus.

The building adjacent to Tobin Hall is Rodgers Recreation Center, your next stop. It is a green-trimmed building with a large stone walkway and many front doors.

Rodgers Recreation Center

A central location on campus, this building is home to Salve’s NCAA DIII Varsity Athletic Teams, club sports, intramural sports, fitness centers and recreational facilities including an aerobics/dance studio. Coaches have offices and team meeting space here and athletes train, meet and display their trophies in its halls. Our basketball and volleyball teams use its court to compete while other teams have fields on or in close range of campus.

Listen to this audio segment to hear about the student athlete’s experience at Salve before heading to your next stop.

Next, turn away from Rodgers Recreation Center and face the building across from you with the wooden archway. Click to the next stop to learn more about Stonor and Drexel Halls.

Stonor Hall and Drexel Hall

Stonor and Drexel Halls, located centrally on campus, allow students to take advantage of our support for international student services, career development and study abroad programs. At Salve, students come from across the world and country. While here, they are encouraged to complete internships and real world job opportunities - over 30% of our students also complete a study abroad program at some point in their time with Salve.

Click on the audio button to learn more about these student services.

Continue down the stone walkway past the Rodgers Recreation Center. When you reach Leroy Avenue, turn right and walk across the parking lot on your left. Pass the mansion, Gerety Hall, and continue to your next stop, the Antone Academic Center, which is the stable-style building across Lawrence Avenue at the back of the parking lot.

Antone Academic Center

Painters, historians writers, graphic designers, dancers, actors and actresses – all these and more can be found inside the Antone Academic Center. A historic carriage house connected to a historic stable makes Salve’s arts center as unique as the work that is created inside of it. Of note is the Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery, allowing students and guests to present their work in a gallery format, and the cultural and historic preservation Lab, home to one of Salve’s most unique and hands-on programs that uses our campus as a living preservation laboratory.

Listen to the audio segment to hear more about the programs that make this building their creative home.

From either front entrance of the Antone Academic Center, cross Lawrence Avenue to approach the mansion across the street, Gerety Hall. To reach Gerety Hall, walk past the large tree in the middle of the parking lot to a staircase that will take you through the Rose Garden to the front of the building. If you require a more accessible route, head to the left around Gerety Hall for a path without stairs.

Gerety Hall Student Center

This building was re-named in 2019 from Wakehurst to Gerety Hall, in honor of our recently retired past president Sister Jane Gerety and is one of Salve’s historic buildings. It serves as our campus center and the nearly 70 student organizations overseen by the office of Student Engagement. Student Leaders, the Office of Community Service and Engagement and the Foreign Language department also work within its walls. Students gather in the fireplace lounge and study spaces on the first floor and the game room in the lower level.

Click on the audio button to understand more of this building’s many uses.

Now that you’ve completed the audio clip, follow the circular drive to the right where you’ll see your next stop, McKillop Library on your right – or take the short cut through the garden to fully enjoy the beauty of this space.

McKillop Library

Welcome to McKillop Library. Need to study? Need some help finding resources for a paper? Need help with a class? Hungry?

Click on the audio button to hear more about the many resources found here before crossing the street to our next stop.

If you are facing the entrance to McKillop Library, follow the sidewalk around to the back of the building and exit the parking lot. Turn left on Lawrence Avenue and at the intersection turn right up Shepard Avenue. As you pass Reynolds Field, host to our baseball and soccer home games, you’ll reach the bleachers and a gravel path next to a building named Carnlough Cottage. Take the gravel path past Carnlough Cottage until you can see a large, red-trimmed historic home on your right across the lawn. This is your next stop, the William-Watts Sherman House, where you can see much of the upperclass housing.

Upperclass Housing

Entirely unique to Salve Regina is the beautiful and historic housing offered; students live in and around some of the most important buildings in New England. From ocean views to common areas with grand fireplaces, the University’s on-campus housing is unmatched. All residence halls are within a few minutes of the academic and common areas on campus and a short walk or trolley ride from downtown Newport and the beach.

Click on the audio link to learn more about our unique housing options.

From the path behind the Watts Sherman House, continue to the next street (Victoria Ave) and turn left down it. Continue down the street until the large blue building on your left is seen, Hunt and Reefe Halls, our next stop.

Fun Fact: In addition to the glimpses of the ocean from this area, The Breakers can be seen from most of the neighborhood. The Breakers is one of the most important relics of gilded-age architecture in America and one of New England’s most visited tourist attractions.

Reefe Hall, Hunt Hall and Moore Hall

Situated closely together, Reefe Hall houses first-year students and Hunt Hall houses sophomore students in hotel-style rooms with private bathrooms. Both buildings are co-ed, with male and female suites scattered throughout each floor.

All of the residence hall rooms on campus are built to accommodate a variety of student configurations and some have ocean views. Whether they choose bunk beds or loft kits, the generous floor plans allow residents to customize their room layout to their preferences. All residence halls offer common areas. Reefe Hall is a unique first-year option for students due to how close it is to the O’Hare Academic Building, making for an easy walk to class in the morning!

Click on the audio link to learn more at this stop.

Exit the parking lot of Hunt/Reefe/Moore to the intersection of Ochre Point Ave and Shepard Ave. Walk to the left along Ochre Point Ave, with the ocean on your right. At the gates on your right, turn down them to find the O’Hare Academic Building on your right and McAuley Hall directly ahead.

O'Hare Academic Building

For our university of 2,100 undergraduate students, O’Hare Academic Building is considered a “main hub” of campus. With a 13:1 student to faculty ratio, you are likely to see students studying, hanging out, and meeting with professors between classes, or grabbing some food at Jazzman’s Bakery or Sandella’s Flatbread Café.

Click on the audio button to hear more about the academic experience at Salve.

As you stand at the main entrance of O’Hare, follow the sidewalk up to the horseshoe-shaped driveway. Take a right and McAuley Hall will be in front of you.

McAuley Hall

McAuley Hall is another of our academic buildings and houses the Academic Affairs offices. Built in 1884 and named the Vinland Estates, it now serves as the home to classrooms and faculty offices for many of Salve’s academic programs including our psychology, education, political science and administration of justice majors. A favorite place in this building for our Early Childhood Education students is the model classroom that allows students to develop lesson plans in a fully resourced environment.

Click on the audio button to hear more about the history of this building and programs offered in this space.

After listening to the audio, continue down the driveway and turn to your right. The matching red building is Angelus Hall, your next stop.

Angelus Hall

Angelus Hall houses classrooms, rehearsal and performances spaces, and offices for Salve’s Music department. Newport is known for its performing arts and is host to many festivals including the internationally known Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals each summer. Integrated with the community, these events allow Salve’s music students to be closely involved, getting hands on experience and making connections in the field.

Click on the audio button to hear more about this historic building.

Directly across the small parking lot is your next stop, Our Lady of Mercy Chapel. Walk up any of the many flower-lined paths to the chapel.

Our Lady of Mercy Chapel

This is the newest building on campus, built in 2010, designed as a welcoming and spiritual space complete with La Farge stained glass windows. A circular chapel hosts not only regular services but also prayer vigils and other community gatherings. The interfaith prayer room provides space for students of all faiths and the bottom level of the building serve as a comfortable space for the mercy center’s many activities and traditions. Students make regular use of their kitchen, meeting space and comfy couches.

Click on the audio button to hear more about the Sisters of Mercy and our beautiful chapel.

As you make your way along the path back to Ochre Court, this concludes the traditional campus tour. If you have time, we encourage you to continue to the back of Ochre Court and across the lawn. This is where you’ll find the famed cliff-walks, an international tourist attraction in Newport that borders campus.

This famed national recreation trail is a free attraction to all that visit Newport. Hugging campus and running 3.5 miles along Newport’s eastern coast, this walk allows visitors to enjoy the majesty of the ocean with the Gilded Age architecture of the estates that line the coast such as Salve Regina’s Ochre Court.

Click on the audio button for this stop to learn more about how Salve students enjoy learning and living on the cliffs of the coast.

When looking at the ocean, if you turn left you will be completing the shorter segment of the Cliff Walk that also passes 40 steps, a picturesque stone staircase down to the ocean and ending at Easton’s or First Beach. To the right, you’ll experience, at first, a casual walk by some of Newport’s mansions then to a more adventurous section of the experience that passes Salve’s campus and ends at one our student’s favorite beaches, Bailey’s or “Rejects” Beach. Enjoy the full walk or simply take your time on the lawn before you end your tour. We hope you have enjoyed your experience at Salve.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.
