Bridgewater State College is a public liberal arts college located in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Gates House (1876 – 6,138 ft²) is a small woodframe structure that was once the dwelling house of Samuel Gates. Boyden Hall (1924 – 63,248 ft²) was constructed as the main building of Bridgewater Normal School following the campus fire of 1924. Tillinghast Hall (1916 – 51,760 ft²), known as “Tilly,” is located at the corner of School and Summer streets. Named after the first principal of Bridgewater Normal School, it houses faculty offices, department offices, a dining hall, the campus Post Office, and Health Services. The Art Center (1904 – 14,924 ft²) was originally constructed as the Boyden Gymnasium (an indoor track remains on the second floor). Summer Street House (1925 – 3,831 ft²), a former home near the Alumni Center and Maxwell Library, houses the Political Science Department. Davis Alumni Center (1990 – 6,492 ft²), another former home, houses the alumni services office. The Adrian Rondileau Campus Center (1970 – 161,000 ft²) was constructed over land that was once Boyden Park on Park Street. It also houses offices for the Center for Multicultural and International Affairs, the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership, the Program Committee, the Student Government Association, Visitor Information, Career Services, and Conference and Events Services. The Marshall Conant Science Building (1964 – 99,700 ft²), named after one of the Normal School’s early principals, is located on Park Street, and is home to the school’s science departments (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth Sciences and Geography). A short distance away from the campus located in the woods off of 400 Summer Street is the Observatory (1973 – 500 ft²). The John Joseph Moakley Center for Technological Applications (1995 – 49,000 ft²) is named for the late former US Representative John Joseph Moakley. Walter and Marie Hart Hall (1979 – 25,500 ft²) is a building located behind, and adjacent to, the Moakley Center – the two buildings are connected. Martha Burnell School (1979 – 70,650 ft²), located behind, and adjacent to, Hart Hall, is an elementary school run cooperatively by Bridgewater State College and the Bridgewater-Raynham Regional School District. East Campus Commons (2002 – 32,000 ft²) is one of the newest buildings on campus. The Adrian Tinsley Center (2002 – 84,000 ft²) was constructed at the same time as East Campus Commons and East Hall. Also constructed at this time was the Operations Center (2003 – 30,632 ft²), located slightly downhill from Shea and Durgin Halls (see below). Woodward Hall (1912 – 57,920 ft²) was also constructed in the early 20th century following the campus fire. Scott Hall (1960 – 41,436 ft²), located behind the Campus Center and across from the Davis Alumni Center, is a co-ed dorm housing 143 students. Pope Hall (1960 – 36,360 ft²), located in front of the Campus Center, across from the Art Center, and next to the science building, is a co-ed dorm housing 160 students. James DiNardo Hall (1989 – 56,700 ft²) are co-ed dormitories located on the East Campus, separated from the above buildings (West Campus) by a MBTA rail line (see above). East Hall (2002 – 84,000 ft²), a new co-ed dorm that houses 300 students, is located across a small courtyard from the East Campus Commons. Great Hill Student Apartments (1978 – 51,000 ft²), located up Great Hill from East Hall, is a series of apartment buildings for students aged twenty-one and over. Shea Hall (1967 – 64,344 ft²) and Durgin Hall (1967 – 64,344 ft²) “The Hill” occupy a symmetrical building up Great Hill from the apartments. In an effort to increase the number of residential students that attend Bridgewater State College, construction is underway of two new 400-bed dorms on the East campus in two phases.
