The Main Campus

Our classroom buildings include Compton Science Center, Dunkle, Fine Arts, Framptom, Gunter, Lowndes, Old Main, Pullen, Tawes and the Guild Human Resources Center. Students also attend classes in the Performing Arts Center and the Cordts Physical Education Center.

In addition to specialized departmental labs in all departments, science facilities include a planetarium, greenhouse, live animal rooms, centrifuge, herbarium, arboretum, biotechnology center and electron microscope. Recently, science facilities have greatly expanded and improved through the renovation of Gunter Hall, and the addition of a new Compton Science Center. The state-of-the-art Appalachian Laboratory of the USM Center for Environmental Studies also provides research facilities for FSU students and
faculty, as will the new research park.

Thirty-four percent of our students live on campus in eleven residence halls: Allen, Annapolis, Cambridge, Cumberland, Diehl, Frederick, Frost, Gray, Simpson, Sowers, and Westminster. Edgewood Commons, a privately owned apartment-style complex on campus opened in fall 2003.

Student meals are served in the Chesapeake Dining Hall, the Appalachian Station in the Lane Center, and at Sub Zero in Sowers Hall.

Executive offices are located in the Hitchins Administration Building.

Pullen and Sand Spring Halls house most student services offices. In Pullen, you will find Admissions and Financial Aid, the Registrar, University and Student Billing, Office of Graduate Services, Programs for Academic Support and Studies (P.A.S.S.), Disability Support Services, and Student Support Services. Sand Spring Hall is the temporary home to Counseling and Psychological Services, Career Services, the Career Resource Center, Veterans’ Affairs, Upward Bound and the Regional Math/Science Center. The
University Children’s Center has its own building next door.
