Salve Regina University is a university in Newport, Rhode Island. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy, the university is a co-ed, private, non-profit institution chartered by the State of Rhode Island in 1934. In 1947 the university acquired Ochre Court and welcomed its first class of 58 students. By a 1991 amendment to the Charter the name was changed to Salve Regina University. The undergraduate academic programs are based on the liberal arts, offering concentrations in the arts and sciences and in pre-professional and professional programs. In 1947 the university was gifted Ochre Court by Robert Goelet and welcomed its first class of 58 students. Slowly, the university expanded to the 21 historical buildings and 23 modern building that make up the current 75 acre campus. University status was achieved in 1991, changing the school name from Salve Regina College to Salve Regina University. The University offers programs in the following locations: Australia, Austria, China, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, and Washington, D.C. Salve Regina is located in the Ochre Point area of Newport, which is part of Newport’s National Historic District. The Carey Mansion (Cecilia Hall) was used for the exterior shots of Collinwood in the TV series Dark Shadows The Carey Mansion is leased by the University from Martin Carey, and it remains one of the largest mansions to be still be owned by an individual rather than the university or the historical society. It is currently is home to the university’s Student Center, as well as the English and Cultural and Historic Preservation departments. It is currently being renovated as a center for visual art and cultural and historic preservation on the university’s campus. Once restored, it will house the Cultural and Historic Preservation program, including its Community Preservation Laboratory dedicated to assisting individuals and organizations in the greater community in need of historic preservation research and expertise. Built in 1852-53 by Seth Bradford for William Shepard Wetmore, the Carriage House and Stables complex was the most significant “service building” of the Chateau-sur-Mer estate. The university received the Newport Historical Society’s Historic Preservation Award in 1999 for the restoration of this building. Infants Hospital Salve Regina University was the first New England institution to ever receive a Getty Grant Program award to develop a Campus Heritage Preservation Plan, Salve Regina University. The Campus Heritage Preservation Plan includes a detailed review of 21 buildings which comprise seven contiguous 19th century estates that distinguish Salve Regina’s historic campus. The plan has been integrated as the key component of several classes in the Cultural and Historic Preservation Program, as well as affording students countless opportunities for independent study. In addition to the Getty Grant Program, Salve Regina’s efforts have resulted in awards from Newport Historical Society, White House Millennium Council and National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Save America’s Treasures Program, Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission, National Trust for Historic Preservation, The Preservation Society of Newport County, and The Victorian Society. The Annual Salve Regina University Conference on Cultural and Historic Preservation is attended by a national audience. The university also has a major in cultural and historic preservation, which combines architectural history, archeology and preservation planning. The program will be housed in Wetmore Hall, the former stables of Chateau-sur-Mer, the grand estate built on Bellevue Avenue for a China trade merchant in the mid-1800s. The university is in the process of raising $6.5 million to convert the 21,000-square-foot building into art studios, historic preservation labs and classrooms. Kathleen Styger ‘06 and Michelle Styger ‘07 as interns for the Preservation Society of Newport County conducted extensive research for descriptions on the interior of the Chateau-sur-Mer estate as part of the National Historic Landmark nomination submitted to the Department of Interior. The University offers 20 varsity sports for men and women including football, baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, equestrian, men’s and women’s soccer, golf, ice hockey, field hockey, sailing, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, track and field and men’s and women’s lacrosse.
