We appreciate your interest in exploring our campus. We hope you enjoy your self-guided tour.
WELCOME TO GOUCHER COLLEGE!
1. Dorsey College CenterThis will be the beginning of your tour. On the courtyard level, Dorsey (4) includes Admissions, Student Administrative Services (Financial Aid, Registrar, and Student Billing), and the offices of the President and the Dean of Students. Downstairs are Human Resources, Advancement, Information Technology, the Controller’s Office, Communications, and the Post Office.
Kraushaar Auditorium (4a) seats nearly 1,000 and is a venue for large-scale concerts, dance performances, theater productions, and guest speakers.
The Rosenberg Gallery (4c) is in the lobby of Kraushaar Auditorium. One of three rotating art galleries on campus, this gallery displays professional work and presents five exhibits each academic year.
2. The Academic QuadThe quad adjoins all of the academic buildings on campus: Ho�erger Science Building (12), Kelley Lecture Hall (12a), Julia Rogers Building (13), Van Meter Hall (22), and the Meyerhoff Arts Center (16).
Goucher has an 11:1 student-faculty ratio. The average class size is 17 students, enabling students to work closely with professors and get to know them personally. Professors hold open office hours three days a week so students can get one-on-one help.
Supplemental instruction (SI) sessions are offered for various courses in both the sciences and the humanities. SI consists of voluntary, small group sessions facilitated by a student trained in learning strategies appropriate to the discipline. In the study groups, students work together to integrate the course content with critical thinking strategies.
3. Julia Rogers Building and Van Meter Hall (connected)
The Academic Center for Excellence Located in the Julia Rogers Building (13), the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) is an academic support center open to all students on campus that assists them in their effort to prepare for a life of inquiry, creativity, and social responsibility.
The Welch CenterThe Welch Center is home to our graduate and professional studies. With online, in-person, hybrid, and low-residency programs, the Welch Center’s Graduate and professional programs offer graduate students a format that fits their learning style, life, and goals.
Exploration HubLocated in Van Meter Hall (22), the Exploration Hub is a place that cultivates curiosity and helps students explore endless possibilities by bringing together the expertise of staff and students in three experiential learning offices: the Career Education Office, the Office of International Studies, and the Office of Community-Based Learning. The Hub offers students special programs and drop-in advising, as well as a space to unwind and connect with others.
4. Outdoor ClassroomOn beautiful days, our professors will take their classes outdoors. Equipped with a white board and plenty of seating, students will learn among the trees and sunshine.

5. Van Meter HighwayVan Meter Highway connects the academic and residential sides of campus. This is the typical commute for Goucher students walking from their residence halls to the academic buildings. On a nice day, you’ll see students studying, promoting club events, or just hanging out.
6. Mary Fisher Hall and Dining CenterThe student center, located in Mary Fisher Hall (15), includes a large sunlight-filled dining room as well as small intimate places where students can sit and enjoy a meal. The inside dining space incorporates the community-building theme, with students enjoying a variety of fresh, locally sourced food. Grab-and-go options are also available.
The fun and creative Office of Student Engagement and the caring and supportive Counseling Center are both located in Mary Fisher.
7. Ungar Athenaeum The Athenaeum (2) is located in the center of campus, just off Van Meter Highway. The library contains four floors of stacks and has books in every discipline we offer. There is an emphasis on collaborative learning, with study areas and meeting rooms scattered throughout the building. For students who need a quiet place to work, there are two quiet floors separated from the rest of the building by soundproof glass.
The Athenaeum is also home to the Hyman Forum, a public space that hosts speakers and events, and the Silber Art Gallery. This gallery features the work of students, emerging artists, and established names alike. Alice’s Restaurant, on the bottom floor, is open until midnight, six days a week. Next to Alice’s is the campus store. Here you can find school supplies, snacks, and Goucher apparel!
Information Commons Desktop computers are provided in the Information Commons for the use of all students. The student-led Writing Center and the Quantitative Reasoning Center are also in the Information Commons. These centers provide additional peer-led support for students working on essays, lab reports, and more.
Center for Race, Equity, and Identity The Center for Race, Equity, and Identity (CREI) is also located in the Athenaeum and serves students of color, first-generation students, students with high financial need, LGBTQIA students, international students, and students with disabilities. CREI offers group and one-on-one student advising and mentoring, community-building and programming, and educational workshops, as well as a space to relax, study, cook, or connect with CREI interns or staff members.
8. Welsh and Heubeck HallKatharine and Jane Welsh Hall (14) is primarily housing for juniors and seniors. This contemporary residence hall features suites and apartment-style living quarters, spacious kitchens and common areas on each floor, and a large classroom.
Heubeck Hall (11) includes Bennett (11a), Gamble (11b), Jeffery (11c), and Robinson (11d) houses. The Student Health Center, Public Safety Office, and Office of Residential Life are located here as well.

9. Sondheim House and the President’s HouseSondheim House (20) is devoted to wellness and substance-free living. This is one of two residence halls with suite-style rooms.
The President’s House (17) is located just past Sondheim House. President Kent Devereaux and his wife live there and are extremely involved in campus life.
10. First-Year VillagePagliaro Selz Hall (6a) opened in Fall 2016 and Fireside Hall (6b) and Trustees Hall (6c)opened in Fall 2018, creating a “village” for 450 first-year students to live, work, and socialize. First-year students live close to the center of campus, directly adjacent to the Decker Sports Center and the new centralized dining facility in Mary Fisher Hall. The Village was designed for interaction, with prominent communal areas for students to come together to cook, share, and learn. Each floor has a common room, soundproof study rooms, and a full kitchen.
11. Decker Sports and Recreation Center (SRC)The SRC (3) has two gymnasiums, a swimming pool, racquetball and squash courts, a strength and conditioning room, a cardio-fitness center, a modern dance studio, and a Pilates Center.
Behind the SRC is Beldon Field (9a), which is made of synthetic turf. Field hockey, men’s and women’s lacrosse, and men’s and women’s soccer practice and compete here. It is also available for our intramural sports teams. Located just beyond Beldon Field is our outdoor track (9). We also have six tennis courts and two practice fields.
The Goucher stables (19) are home to more than 20 horses and we have an equestrian team ranked 7th in the nation! Students who are not on the equestrian team can even take riding lessons. Please do not feed the horses!
12. Froelicher HallThe Froelicher residence halls (7a, 7b, 7c) were originally located next to Sondheim House (20), but in the summer of 2017 they were li�ed up and moved down the hill to their current location. (Visit our “Community Matters” website to see how it was done!)
13. Haebler Memorial Chapel Goucher’s nondenominational chapel (10) offers an inspirational setting. The chapel is open every day and evening (including weekends) for silence, solitude, and prayer. There are events scheduled in the chapel (musical, religious, and other) as well.
Chaplain Cynthia Terry supports and oversees all aspects of religious and spiritual life at Goucher. Her office is located in the lower level of the chapel.
