Our Campus
Your oasis of learning in Boston
Simmons University’s campus, set in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood, is both your home base and your retreat. Venture beyond campus to explore museums, parks, restaurants, and nightlife. (Gardner, the Museum of Fine Arts, Fenway Park, as well as Longwood Medical Area, are all within minutes of campus!) Or stay close and unwind on our quad. The choice is yours!
Our campus blends historic charm and modern spaces. It’s connected and simple to navigate. You’ll find bright classrooms, state-of-the-art labs, quiet study nooks, and collaborative spaces. Grab a coffee in Common Grounds Cafe, meet friends for a meal in Bartol Hall, study in the library, or stay active at the Holmes Sports Center.
Student spaces support hands-on learning and connection. It is easy to get to class, and build relationships with faculty and peers.
