Dating back to 1859, Ascension Hall, is just one of the Victorian Gothic castle-like structures that dominates campus. In total, it acts as home to ten classrooms, as well as the cosy Nu Pi Kappa, a third-floor study lounge complete with comfortable furniture, and Philomethesian, a medium-sized lecture-hall.

In its new north campus home, the Black Box Theatre is a great open space for goups to perform or meet. Due to its proximity to the North Campus Apartments, this also acts a suitable space for groups to check-in/out in an air-conditioned envioronment.
Complete with wall-wall mirrors and conveniently located in the heart of south campus, Bolton Dance Studio provides a wonderful space for dance or music workshops.
Bolton Theater is the second-largest professional theatre space on-campus. Host to a wide variety of proffessional-grade student work during the academic year, this is the perfect space for a group interested in dramatic performances, showcases, or discussions.
The Brown Family Environmental Center, commonly known as the BFEC (pronounced "bee-fek"), lies a stones throw away from the village center. During your visit, explore 480 acres of woodlands, hiking trails, prairie habitats and gardens. The breathtaking natural beauty makes a perfect backdrop for wedding receptions, birthday parties or even educational tours, which can check in at the visitors' center. Or if it's relaxation you are after, opt for a lazy day of river tubing on the Kokosing, one of Ohio's State Scenic Rivers, or a gentle bike ride down the Kokosing Gap Trail.

Built between 1869 and 1871, the Church of the Holy Spirit lifts its steeple high above south campus. It is a nonesectarian church, complete with an array of stunning stained-glass and functioning bells, making it the perfect backdrop for weddings, christenings or any other ceremonies you have in mind.

Enclosed in beautiful red-brick and situated adjacent to the historic Bexley Hall, Colburn Hall used to serve as the College's Seminary library. However, newly renovated, it acts as a multi-functional events hall complete with high ceilings and a stage area that is perfect for a DJ. It is conveniently located next to the North Campus Apartments and makes the perfect space for after-parties or other celebratory events.
